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.

I mostly don't rat SOFs from any year other than 74,but this one is still as good as they get post break.

Donna and Bobby's singing was at it's best in 1976. Finally, they both stopped(most of the time) screeching and sang within their range and volume and the band sounds so much better for it. If only they had stuck with this instead of resorting to type. Ah well.....

What's NOT good in this show? From a stellar year where hardly any show is a bust or drags, this is a top 5 show. Well worth taking some time out from your busy lives and listening to the whole show. Can't think of too many better ways to spend 3 hours and also raise your well being for much longer. P.s I love DEAL

Superb,really high energy,mad ending. Yeah "we quit" from Bobby is just about right. Give it a whirl with your girl!

Folsom Field, University of Colorado

Very good indeed. But September 72 "He's Gone" are so many and wonderous- see 9/21 &9/28 especially. Indeed IMO the Spectrum show and the 3 nights at the Stanley Theatre are every bit as good as Venata.

One of the best-so well played and sung, all just exactly purrfect. Pure Sunshine Daydream
