I've yet to hear a '72 version that doesn't kick at least some degree of ass, and this is no exception...

Great way to put it...not the craziest of the year, but just a really nice version all around.

Promised Land was actually the opener, but this is a great version indeed...
Don't Ease Me In

Dallas Memorial Auditorium

One of two times they opened with this in '72, the other being exactly a month prior in Milwaukee...
Attics of My Life

Cleveland Public Hall

About as good as you're going to get for this tune live. Between the setlist goodies and the performance, I think this show is a candidate for top 10-15 of the stacked year that is 1972...
