Pigpen is louder in this show than in many, and I barely hear Keith.Ĭhina>Rider, nice early placement. MAMU, Bob brings us out to the “Old American West”. SOURCES: The official or this source, which has the original He's Gone.īertha actually starts with some slight SQ issues, which I wasn’t aware of on the E72 release prior to this listen (first time listening to this show from boxed set). Not Fade Away>Goin' Down the Road - incredible tone and insane Jer fills Sing Me Back Home - tiresome but still a near-perfect version and Donna's chance Me & Bobby McGee>The Other One - great sequence Greatest Story Ever Told - right where it was emerging as a classic He's Gone - original non-manipulated version still the classic No encore.Įl Paso - Jer plays off Bobby - erm, vice versa Not so for Bobby doing the horse thing on the return to NFA. There's a Donnaskreech™, but it's buried in the mix. The first minute alone of Goin' Down the Road is insane and every solo - every fill, a gem. The tone on Not Fade is NOT like the rest of the tour. She skips the sweet clover roll on over for Sugar Mag. Sing Me Back Home comes too soon after 2 Souls and is the longest song on Disc 4 - to give you an idea of the slog-ness, but it's near-perfect and made for Donna. Ramble On Rose is not the tightest (and Jer repeats lyrics), but the guitar tone is incredible. The Beat it on Down the Line-37 (and that's if you just count Billy!) is oops-sloppy 'til a Jer save. Wharf Rat has the hard ending and is well-played, but sometimes there's not much to the '72s. You have to wade for the good parts, but the back nine, into Me & Bobby McGee and back is excellent. A decent Truckin' to a The Other One that's a throwback to '70 in places a 34min extravaganza that's very noodly. 4/11 & 5/7 are brilliant but the arrangement leaves little room for prowess. Casey is played almost every night and was very consistent on this tour. All 9 on the tour are great and this is about in the middle (4/11 is insane and 4/29 incredible). The Greatest Story would be fantastic without the incongruous Donnaskreech™ taking you out of the groove. Historically interesting, but much better later in the year. This is the first Jack Straw with Jer singing. There are better examples of Chinatown but it's always a short, bluesy respite. Even if we all grew up with the dubs and pitch version, the real version (with the real ending) is still definitive and it's too bad Norman didn't patch-in this source. However, the original circulates (seen here). As on the original Europe 72 album, it has the varispeed version with the overdubs, albeit with the pitched slowed back down again. The E72 Complete box doesn't have the original version of He's Gone. Jer is just brilliant on El Paso and Bobby is ON, weaving, darting. Black Throated was played almost every night of the tour, so you can afford to be choosier than this one. Bertha is not the best there's a warming-up for a few songs. The 1st set isn't as good as most on the tour - but it's E72, so still above average.įirst Set. It's always been considered a lesser show but pay that no mind - it's still a smoker. The boys would have 3 days to recover from one of the longest shows ever - before the steady grind that finished the tour. In '72, though, it had a bad echo problem, which the crew were able to compensate for somewhat, meaning the front half of the audience had good sound. The Concertgebouw is famously deluxe digs, by the Van Gogh museum. One of the tour's longest shows hours (w/intermission).
