Another excellent '72 version. Seems like this show is one of the most under-the-radar great '72 shows...

Second song of this great show, continuing the hot start after a rare Big Railroad opener...

I'm really loving these '72 versions...they don't drag at all, as it sometimes could in later years.

The jam was giving me slight hints of the '71 "Hard To Handle" jams, actually. Great, unique version...

Celebratory indeed...great (pre-OMSN) capper to one of my favourite '72 shows!

Stays a little too close to home for being this long IMO. I like the one from the night before better (and prefer the night before as a complete show).

Strand Lyceum

I like the 5/4 Paris version slightly better, but this is one of the best for sure.
