Does anyone know anything about these shows? Apparently they played April 14th-16. On my itunes I downloaded a show that I have been listening to a lot lately. I only put 1972 on it, no date. I have no idea where the disc is I downloaded it from and even that might not be accurate.
So I did some digging and given the setlists on this site and another one I found it has to be either the 15th or the 16 because apparently they played Mt Jam the first night which is not on my show. This is the 16th:
Statesboro
Done Somebody Wrong
Ain't Wastin' Time
One Way Out
Stormy Monday
Trouble No more
You Don't Love Me

A site I went to says on the 16th this was the early show (according to the setlist). I can't find the 15th so I am leaning toward the last night. It really doesn't matter to me, it just piqued my curiosity. Did they play two shows during those nights?

Lee, this one was remastered by Captain Skipper some time back. It's from 4/16. I couldn't tell you whether it's from a early or late show or was the only show that night. Skip would usually designate them as early or late if that information was known.
It's either a soundboard (mostly likely) or from an FM broadcast. The first time I saw the band was from 20 days prior.

Look here!!
Thanks for the insight coot. Again, I don't recall where I got it from but the sound is impeccable so having it from Skipper makes sense.

What/when is this? Picture doesn't look like 1972 to me. I could be wrong.

@lee I decided to see what may be on YouTube from 1972 and this Academy of Music show was there.
Is it the same show you have?
I don't know where the picture was taken but that is how L-R Jaimoe, Dickey, Gregg, Berry and Butch looked in 1972 so I'm certain it is 1972. I see a smile on Berry's face. As we now know Berry was devastated by Duane's death to the point he eventually couldn't function. So nice to see he is smiling here.
It was a tough year for the band emotionally, especially Gregg and Berry. But their shows were selling tickets real good and their new album Eat A Peach sold over a million copies reaching number 4 out of 200 on Billboard. I remember thinking they would break up after their Eat A Peach tour to promote the album. And when Berry died I was sure of it. But they had just added Chuck Leavell and the next year, 1973, they had their biggest year ever commercially. So I was wrong.
Eat A Peach is a fantastic album. Every track is very good.
