Last go round for Pigpen singing this classic and they absolutely nail it. Might be my new favorite version!!!

Last time played with Pigpen in the band. Was is a pre courser for his soon departure? Jerry literally tears me up in this version!

17 minute NFA>GDTRFB>NFA wonder. They left the best for last on the Europe 72' tour and here's a gem!!!

Sing Me Back Home
Long version that will not disappoint. Donna adds a wonderful touch to this slow mellow beauty!

Black Throated Wind
It's really nice, the recording I have just has this wonderful rawness to it...either way not surprising considering the show

Casey Jones
Near flawless version from a near flawless tour. The whole band is locked in on the home stretch here, and keith is hammerin' away on those ivories..

Two Souls in Communion
They played this song great all tour. Rotterdam is the definitive, but this one is quite good and Pig's last.
