HOT version, outro is a bit fast, in keeping with the entire era. But Jerry's leads are on fire, sounds straight outta 74

This will forever be the one for me. I can’t be objective about this. I don’t know which one is best, but none are better. Too many memories of spinning the E72 cassette (yes cassette) then CD on road trips, campfires, trips....eagles fill the sky.

I think this, 5/3 and 5/7 are the best of Europe 72 (apologies to the 4/26 aficionados which I agree is awesome), these three are just better in my book. The jam just before Bobby McGee is wild, not sure i've heard the boys do anything like that anywhere else.

Pure fire. so many good ones from this tour, but this is a must hear. I agree Jerry just nailed his tone for this show in particular, every song sounds sooooo good. Donna gets her cat on.

what's this one doing all the way down here. Jerry gets his dark and scary tone on. Best from europe 72 tour?

A++ like the whole show. Favorite version from the 80’s with a delicious seque into eyes.
