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)...

Long Beach Arena

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).

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
Oct. 28, 1972
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...

Billy is absolutely nuts during the solo!
