Winterland Arena

An overlooked version because of the famous movie version from the 19th October, but good and on the money.

They really groove on the outro vocals-no shrieking,just driving on and on. Not at the top but a VG 78 version

A really great version. Jerry's voice sweet and just perfect, good harmonies and sweet playing,esp Keith.

Really rockin' version, great playing ,great singing. I'm just loving the 1971 shows I'm hearing just now. This show is as good as any you'll hear.

D.S-El Paso-D.S. 2nd part turns into a high energy rockin' jam. Makes a nice change to hear such focused driving guitar from Jerry-this whole show his playing shows that he was one of the very,very best rock guitarists ever. Give this whole show a whirl.

I Love these 71/72 Deals; nice straightforward for ageing cuddly bears to shuffle along with Keith doing some lovely "bar room" type piano fills in the background. What's not to like.

Jerry as Rock Star guitarist-oh yeah!
