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...

Fantastic 15-min pre-verse...on pace to be one of the best before it gives way to Drums and TOO after just 19:50
Good Lovin'
May 3, 1972
Olympia Theater

One of the most sophisticated versions ever...somehow jazzy and out there, yet still totally Good Lovin'
Playin' In The Band
May 3, 1972
Olympia Theater

One of the most gracefully intense jams I've heard...criminally underrated.

Fillmore East

There are 20 votes for the night before that actually belong to this one, as it wasn't played on the 13th...

There's a confident saunter to this one...
