How in this magic week did this powerhouse version with perfect vocals not yet get voted up? Give a spin, you aren't going to regret it.

Perfection. They could do no wrong this week, and this FOTD is no exception. Perfection.

Tight ensemble playing with perfect sound. This is one of the great shows of the year.

Feelin' Groovy Jam

Portland Memorial Coliseum

Already listed as the CC>IKYR, but this jam stands on its own. One of the tightest from start to finish.

Brilliant outro and high-energy version, a bit more up-tempo than others from the time. All-round sweet show, overshadowed by other giants of Aug. '72

Want to know what it means to mean it? Jerry means it here. The vocals and solo are heartfelt and full. Great reference to Bill Evans here, merryjerry, spot on. As part of the Playin' suite to start all suites, this is just glorious.

This one is furthur, faster, and hotter than others of the time. Goes up and up and up. Jerry breaks into falsetto at one point.

Subtle and soft by comparison to others from Fall '72, but full of dreamy drifting visions and mellow soaring.
Black Peter

Fox Theatre

In the right headspace, and when the band was on like it was here, Black Peter live was an extremely powerful collective experience of death and dying. I've always felt it to be one of their most psychedelic songs for this reason. If you've ever gone deep into its trance and felt yourself spreading thinner and thinner until your very molecules could no longer really be called "yours" anymore, only to find yourself reassembled and joyous once they pulled you back from the underworld and plopped you back into your body, then you'll understand: The crowd got taken for a long deep ride here.
