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

I rarely go for post-pedal steel versions, but this one is gorgeous.
Candyman

Oklahoma City Music Hall

One of the best I've heard for sure!
Here Comes Sunshine
Nov. 14, 1973
San Diego International Sports Arena

Have to agree with what others have said about the loose-to-the-point-of-botched transitions. Also, Billy plays pretty much the entire song with the snares off...is it just me, or is this unusual?
And We Bid You Goodnight
Nov. 11, 1973
Winterland Arena

Bobby starts to bid the crowd "goodnight" as "Johnny B. Goode" finishes, but Jerry has other plans and leads them into this sweet version...
