Not the very best of the year, but still darn good...

The last of a whopping 73 plays in 1972, and a nice one to finish with...

Perhaps not surprisingly, you can really hear the '73 sound starting to emerge here (and elsewhere in the show)...

Good start to a very overlooked show. This was their most common opener in '72, kicking off 32 shows, this being the last of them (opens S2 on NYE).

One of the best of the tour IMO. Keith plays a phrase throughout that seems to suggest Little Richard's "The Girl Can't Help It," which Jerry then echoes closer to the end of the jam after Keith has stopped playing it...great stuff from an underrated show!

Love the brisk tempo for this one! Jerry's riffing has a real surf rock feel to it...

Yup...one of two shows on the tour that they split into three sets, 4/24 Dusseldorf being the other...

I think this one is very interesting if you're in the right mood to focus on it. Pig's rap in the final two minutes before Caution is one of his best ever!

Unique ending to the solo on this one, resulting from the boys cutting Jerry off prematurely...
