Ripping opener with a unique solo from Jerry!

Jerry and Bob are both really good on this one. Phil and Bill drive it forward nicely as well -- doesn't drag at all like some do.

Not the best vocally, but very good instrumentally.

Billy really makes this one -- some very cool snare and hi-hat work starting just before 2:00!

Very technically sound — almost like he’s doing a rudiment exercise for much of it, which is fine by me!

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
Nov. 24, 1972
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!
