Sandwiched between a dreamy Dark Star. Not the definitive version perhaps, but it belongs in the discussion.

Can believe this one isn't already here! A beautiful version from one of the top five shows ever played.

Near flawless version from a near flawless tour. The whole band is locked in on the home stretch here, and keith is hammerin' away on those ivories..

Tight, inspired, rockin'. Best of the Euro '72 run. Give it some love, folks!

One knows from Jerry's opening vocals "cost a lot to win" sung with extra twang, that it's gonna be rockin' with that good county, funky vibe.

Cleanest version. Featured on Europe '72 (with "studio treatments" for good measure).

What more can be said about this superior version?! This whole show is essential. My favorite AUD source for any show, any year.

Very underrated version. This one needs more love, folks!

This version that first hooked me. I Suppose I'm biased, but I think it beats the much heralded 6/22/73. Be sure to check out both 9/17/72 and 9/27/72.
