They could hardly screw up the "hard" songs in Fall '72, much less EP

I think '71-'72 was probably the peak for this song...

Typically great '72 version, falling between a great "Tomorrow Is Forever" and an epic DS

Nice, brief one towards the end of a great DS

Love Billy's toms-only fills during the verses -- haven't heard him play another version quite like it...

This one feels a bit faster than most.

I have mixed feelings about this one. It functions very well to stitch together the great versions of Truckin', Morning Dew and Sing Me Back Home, and the transition from Truckin' is fantastic for sure, but TOO itself doesn't get nearly as intense as other versions on the tour do. I'd even say 5/24 is the better of the two Lyceum versions. Not particularly close between this one and 4/26, 5/3, 5/7, 5/10, among a few others from the tour IMO.

Definitely deserves more than two votes! I think a lot of E72 gets lost in the shuffle because the most well-known shows of the tour get the lion's share of the attention, when in reality the entire tour is stellar.

This one has a nice swing to it.
