Rock music as it should be. The band is really on this night and this song just flies.

Donna and Bobby really sing it-NO screeching. Their singing throughout this June 76 run is just fine. For all you Donna haters, listen to this

Solid,well sung, nice little solo, and it is so sweet after the huge UJB>Wharf Rat>DS>Sugar Mag that comes before it. It just fits in so well.

Hurts Me Too

Rotterdam Civic Hall

Best from Eu '72? Ties with the Strand. Whole show is top ten. Even the thought of trying to grade Europe '72 shows seems utter folly. Great---NO, Brilliant,superb,bluest of blue slide, wonderful Pig Pen singing and harp playing. Keith and Phil and Bobby rocking along.

Superb high energy and Jerry finger pickin' perfect. A machine gun of blue notes bending and swooping. Driving drumming and Pigpen at his best.
Cumberland Blues

Stanley Theatre

Go listen to the Europe 72 show directly, no overdubs just 5.57 of brilliance and lovely harmonising vocals. Joy.
