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...

Is it just me, or is Phil more noticeable in this one?

Glad they overruled Phil to launch into this one instead of Greatest Story, which he was noodling with coming out of the intermission...
Good Lovin'

Compact little guy compared to some others on the tour, but very good. Great build-up and explosion back into the verse.

Very nice one indeed. This whole show is overlooked! I think it's the best of the three between Rotterdam and the Lyceum run by a significant margin, which isn't to say that Lille and Luxembourg aren't also very good...

A tad slower than the other E72 versions, which lends it a nice, mellow vibe. Pig fills this one out nicely.
