Like the night before, a great version from a legendary show that I'm surprised wasn't already here...

Shocked this wasn't here already...gorgeous version from a legendary show, about two weeks before they recorded the studio version.

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

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.

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