I've yet to find a bad one from '72...

Another excellent '72 version. Seems like this show is one of the most under-the-radar great '72 shows...

Second song of this great show, continuing the hot start after a rare Big Railroad opener...

One More Saturday Night
Dec. 10, 1971
Fox Theatre

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!
Uncle John's Band
Sept. 17, 1972
Baltimore Civic Center

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!
Not Fade Away
Sept. 3, 1977
Raceway Park

I like 2/14/70 best myself, but this one is certainly up there.
Truckin'
Sept. 8, 1973
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.
