Airplay perfect. Seems like they wanted to pick up the pace a bit and this one is just fine and dandy.

Don't shut off the after the LIG>DitS>CC! This version just keeps on giving - great jam all 'round.

Ship of Fools

Capitol Theater

Muscular and confident, not at all dragging. Don't overlook it. It's brilliant and perfect coming in a blazingly good show and great 2nd set.

This one cooks. Keith puts on a master class of the old razzle dazzle.

Great standalone sandwiched between a Sugar Mag and her Sunshine Daydream. Nice combo.

Bird Song
Oct. 30, 1972
Ford Auditorium

Unfortunate cut, probably just a tape flip, but an otherwise gorgeous, flying vintage '72 Bird Song that lifts of and soars.
Playin' In The Band

Cleveland Public Hall

Better without headphones. Mix problems are less obvious in an ambient environment. Sad about the cut, though: Jerry is carving wormholes through spacetime while Billy plays every sound in the forest and every wave in the ocean across infinite eons.
Box of Rain
Oct. 28, 1972
Cleveland Public Hall

Tighter than the 09th and 26th, and only the third one performed apart from the '70 show. Quite beautifully performed, even if Billy's drums are a bit high in the mix.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Oct. 28, 1972
Cleveland Public Hall

...the Bertha Board, natch.
Nobody's Fault But Mine
Oct. 2, 1972
Springfield Civic Center

A clear and strong statement of the NFBM melody, tighter and more deliberate than the 26th and 27th versions.
