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

Billy is nuts on this one! Lots of 16th notes on the hi-hat early on, just pounding away on the bass towards the end!

This solo is tear-jerkingly good. Seriously...great capper to an excellent show in a month that's quickly becoming one of my favourites!
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Sept. 15, 1972
Boston Music Hall

One of the best I've heard in some time! Excellent, extended transition. One of the best sounding non-officially released SBDs of '72 as well!

I like 2/14/70 best myself, but this one is certainly up there.
Truckin'

Nassau Coliseum

Not a very good one vocally. The jams are good though, and Bob in particular is on fire -- unique and adventurous rhythm playing throughout.
