A complete preview of the 1972 "Help Me, Rhonda" performance in New Jersey.

Let the record show that I want a 3 or 4 disc 70s concert box for Christmas 2014!

Wow, Dennis sounds great.

And sonically, this sounds incredible. Can't wait to hear the rest of the live stuff on the box.

[Dave Modny]

And did I hear Dennis call out Daryl Dragon's name at the end or am I hearing things?

Yep, it's called out right before the fade-out. For the Carnegie version, it's his "Captain Keyboard, Captain Keyboard" moniker that's called out. : )

Love this version. As someone else noted, very similar (virtually identical in places) to that noted Carnegie Hall performance from a few days later.

[SonicVolcano]

My best guess is that the performance from the In Concert album was taken from a 1973 performance, seeing it's more up-tempo than the 1972 versions we have thus far.

[Bill M]

Is it possible that Billy played the piano solo on 11/19/72 at Capitol Theater, NJ & Daryl played the piano solo on 11/23/72 at Carnegie Hall, NY?  I guess not all that unusual, considering 3 different vocalists were rotating the lead on various nights.  I believe the "In Concert" version was recorded 8/19/73 at Nassau Coliseum, NY with Billy on "electric" piano solo, followed by a guitar solo (Blondie?)

Well this is new to me!

This is a pretty decent production with some nice harmony vocals.  But all the lipstick in the world won't save this from still being a "so-so" song.

That would be awesome!
I wonder if there's any hope for a release like that...

This just might be my new favorite Dennis vocal. After hearing this and Wild Honey, I really need to hear this complete concert.

Why stop at only three or four discs? I want ten!

Sexy packaging and book enclosed. BEARDS all over the place. Two posters here who have a conveniently available book writing extensive liner notes. BIG PHOTOS. Beards. The beards, everywhere! The sound of the beards!

I want an entire disc of different stages of their beards rubbing against microphones.
I would love a beard harmony.

Awesome performance! Dennis sounds fantastic!

[Jay]

Is this version "new" to fans? Was this show circulating in audience tape form? It's new to me.

[Gabo]

I'm seriously rocking in my seat for this and it's almost two weeks away.

[SonicVolcano]

Yeah, I think it's new to most of us.

Also, now we really have a proper Dennis lead from that time. He's a bit buried in the mix on the Carnegie Hall version.

[Rocker]

Love it!

[MBE]

Very different from Uniondale 1974. Dennis' voice in 1972 still sounds "clean" to me. At least as clean as In The Back Of My Mind. Wish I had a clean Dennis version from all the 1972-74 tours he sang it on, we could really narrow down when his voice changed then.

[Wrightfan]

Man, I can't wait for this to come out. Want to make a definitive 1969-1971 fantasy double album playlist

I just checked my order from amazon.de and it shows the anticipated shipping date to be a week from today (8.22).

If you listen to the 1973 Hartford gig, Dennis sounds like he was in the midst of a change in his voice. Within a year his voice had deteriorated further.

[pixletwin]

What is it about LA in the mid 70's that destroyed voices? Harry Nilsson, Dennis, Brian... who else?

I just checked my order from amazon.de and it shows the anticipated shipping date to be a week from today (8.22). 

I just cancelled my Amazon UK order and ordered it from Amazon DE because of this message.

I may have to pay 9 more dollars, but at least, instead of 24 days, it will arrive in 7.

Why would it take so long via a.uk bubbly?
