Playin' In The Band
Unbelievable Playin' on this Playin', they fly thru at least a hundred different changes at supersonic speed. Billy is absolutely on Fire!!!
4
Deal
Super emotional solo, and intense powerful leads, make this my favorite pre 76' Deal
7
Dark Star
After repeated listenings this Dark Star has started to sound masterful. Mind-blowing interplay between Keith, Jerry, and Phil, advanced exploration
3
Sugar Magnolia
Torn and Ripped apart!!! Holy shit these guys were on fire, how much more energetic can this song possibly be!
4
Brokedown Palace
Soulful and heartfelt. Version is marred by nasty cut, but is still one of the best ever.
4
Bird Song
Compelling version with Jerry exploring new ideas. It doesn't quite soar like other Fall '72s, but still stretches out and worth a close listen.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Tight, nice CC. Seems like 1st moment of the set the band is firing on all cylinders. Trans. stretches to great IKYR.
