He's Gone

Springfield Civic Center

Extra-special sauce on this one: The outro goes into a long unique jam before the gospel bit. The band is completely unified.

Cumberland Blues

Springfield Civic Center

Tight frolic, without the verge-of-chaos coal car vibe from the era. Bobby's contrib. is spot on, and Jer drops a "Went to Toledo" quote.

Black Throated Wind

Springfield Civic Center

A perfectly rendered, tightly orchestrated soaring arc from one of the most inexplicably underated shows of Fall '72. Listen in: Bobby's in pure form.

I have trouble understanding why this isn't already here, other than the embarrassment of riches that is Fall '72.

One of the best I know. Hard chargin' and up tempo hot stuff.

Beat it on Down The Line

Baby Bobby: Shimmy shimmy shake shake, baby baby baby! This is twisty rock and roller Baby Bobby stuff here. Consider for a moment that he was 18 years old at this point. Hot damn.

Listening to all of '66 and this feels like the very first fully realized one.
Cold Rain and Snow

Fans of this song need to hear this! It's down to the bare bones, young, raw and full of passion.
I Know You Rider

You'd almost call this a Phil song at this point in the early history of the band. So cool to hear it in its infancy.
