Tight, well-sung and really buzzing with energy. Keith has some great flourishes.

Hilarious intro as Bob and Jerry come in out of time with Phil. Hot one once they get going -- especially Billy, who's really 'on' at this show...

Phil and Bill sound like a runaway box car in an Appalachian mine! Heady interplay during the solos.

Cool chording from Bobby and a very restless Phil during the verses, then Billy and Keith fire off the jack hammer at the end of Jerry's lyrical solo.

This one is pretty unique for a song that didn't change much night to night...

Great way to put it...not the craziest of the year, but just a really nice version all around.

Promised Land was actually the opener, but this is a great version indeed...
Don't Ease Me In

Dallas Memorial Auditorium

One of two times they opened with this in '72, the other being exactly a month prior in Milwaukee...
Attics of My Life

Cleveland Public Hall

About as good as you're going to get for this tune live. Between the setlist goodies and the performance, I think this show is a candidate for top 10-15 of the stacked year that is 1972...

Billy is absolutely nuts during the solo!
