Pretty good climax on this one, which is the key to the song IMO. All-around solid version, surprised it's not on here yet.

They sound a bit bored with it to my ears until Phil kicks them into gear around the 4:00 mark. Probably smart that they gave it a break after '71...

More relaxed pace than usual, which allows Bob to give a nice, thoughtful vocal performance.

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...

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

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!
