Shocked that I get to submit this a day after the 50th anniversary! Incredible version with a very melodic, well-structured solo and a great SSDD!

Strong finish to a great first set at a strangely overlooked show...

Not to be that guy, but every '72 version ought to be here...

Reminds me a bit more of the Europe versions than the Fall ones surrounding it somehow...not that they're all that different, I guess.

Fantastic version...way underrated IMO. The rubato feel they were able to achieve on songs like this in the one-drummer era disappeared post-hiatus...

Boston Music Hall

This is the only time DS and Brokedown were ever played side-by-side, let alone flowing into each other...

Hollywood Palladium

Like Veneta's EP, it takes on a different buzz coming out of an epic DS...

This one is a ripper...perhaps not as scorching as 7/18/72, but very hot in its own right.
