Berkeley Community Theatre

Even though it cuts out after 16mins, a really fine 1972 TOO. Worth 16 minutes of anyones time.

Although only part of set 2 seems to exist, great show. Clean,good energy,starting to get that fall 73 jazziness.

What a way to start the year! Loose Lucy's from Feb. '73 are just the thing to cheer up a dark and dismal month.

They Love Each Other

Denver Coliseum

Another great 1973 version from another great 1973 show. I run out of superlatives sometimes and just stand/sit amazed listening to the quality- not just of an individual song or even a whole show, but weeks at a time with hardly a duff SONG let alone show. November 1973 is one of those months. I love TLEO from 1973 best of all I think. uptempo, extra lyrics, well sung. Oh Happy Daze

1978 Deal could be like that(see the Nashville Show!)
He's Gone
Nov. 18, 1972
Hofheinz Pavilion

What's available of this show is 1 hour 36 minutes of 1972 magic. I can only wonder what the first set was like. A superb version of He's Gone. Agree with Carrion Crow-what's available is all really top quality.
