Shocked that I get to submit this a day after the 50th anniversary! Incredible version with a very melodic, well-structured solo and a great SSDD!

Strong finish to a great first set at a strangely overlooked show...

Not to be that guy, but every '72 version ought to be here...

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...

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

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...

Billy is absolutely nuts during the solo!
