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 slowest versions I've heard, but not in a bad way...I love listening to this first set with my morning coffee.
Greatest Story Ever Told

Olympia Theater

Last time it was used as an opener until 2/17/79 Oakland! Great start to my second-favourite show of the tour...

Fitting capper to what is, IMO, a Top 10 show of their career...
