- ★★★★★ · Best show of Europe 72' Tour · Dylan M · 2011
Nothing tops it. Three and a half hours of pure perfection as they were presenting it at the time. Nothing captures this band at its fullest and most true moment. Great recording. Keith is high up, so is Pig's organ, and plenty of his songs! All the first set songs are played to their best (especially BTW, Loser, Dire Wolf, The Stranger) killer versions of everything. Second set: COMMON!!!

I don't know if I can go as far as the other reviewers on this one but it's excellent none the less. Lets start with the soud quality first.Right now it's being played back through about $75,000 worth of gear and it sounds nice w/ minimal manipulation.Theres a little hiss that came right out w/ Soundsoap for you other studio guys.Very little eq'ing and it sounds awsome.Lots of dynamics that jump and move with nice stereo imaging on the whole mix.
- ★★★★★ · "He's playing with his back to the audience, tears streaming down his face..." · Cliff Hucker · 2010
A monumental performance, the band has pulled out all the stops for their last show of the tour. The nineteen song 2+ hour first set, perhaps the finest of the tour, is a monster, featuring fantastic performances of Cumberland Blues, Jack Straw, China/Rider, Playin' in the Band and a surprise Dire Wolf. Concluding with a jammed out NFA> GDTRFB> NFA, this set on its own would have been a great show.
