Black Throated Wind
Bobby offers to take out a contract on the roadies before this hot version.
12
Comes A Time
Reconstructs reality after it was demolished during Dark Star
22
Dark Star
Sublime DS featuring both sets of lyrics, a rarity for '72
4
Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad
Heard this last night on the XM Dead Channel. Just classic high energy rock n roll!
4
Playin' In The Band
Great adventourous 14 plus minute Jam fest that gets to space real quickly. Another great 72 version
4
Not Fade Away
Extremelly bouncy full of tons of high energy and jammy as hell.
2
One More Saturday Night
VERY VERY Hi energy a rousing rock n roll closer. Full on Bobby vamping a classic version.
8
Cold Rain and Snow
Cool tones on this one.
5
Ramble On Rose
Tremendous early Keith era version, tremendous
5
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Great version! Great-sounding '72 soundboard
4
You Win Again
Note for note perfect. The only reason it isn't here yet is that the shows between Europe and Berkeley/Veneta are too often overlooked.
3
Sugar Magnolia
After the ultra-outre Dark Star, this pure rock and roll distillate is just perfect goodness. A burner with Billy hard charging in 4-wheel drive.
4
Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo
Jerry nails it, but Phil sounds awful and he's loud in the mix.
3
Mexicali Blues
I feel dirty for liking this song. A guy having sex with a child and it's a fun, uptempo romp? Disturbing.
2
El Paso
Par for the course - it's 1972 and Bob nails it again.
3
Jack Straw
It would have been better if Bob let Jerry jam some more.
2
Beat it on Down The Line
Jerry gets a little extended jam time.
2
Tennessee Jed
Such a strange song - how did they ever come up with these lyrics?
2
Casey Jones
Jerry's guitar soars on this one. Really good vocals, too.
2
Promised Land
It's a Promised Land from 1972 - you should know what to expect. An uptempo rocker that's a nice listen.
2
He's Gone
Jerry is screaming steal your face right off of your head.
2
Me and My Uncle
Yep. Crisp and tight. That's first set songs from 1972
