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

The Music Never Stopped

Jerry plays like a man possessed.
Viola Lee Blues

Fillmore East

Needs a cleanup, but certainly beyond fathom. Serious brain melter, with experimental sections before the wild crescendo/accelerando leading to the last verse. Only one other version after this, as I guess they were leaving the psychedelic repertoire behind for other bigtime jam vehicles. Hot stuff, and the audience having their collective minds blown apart adds to the high energy. This whole show rocks, but definitely needs a cleanup!
Swing Low Sweet Chariot

A precious gem, in a beautiful set full of rare beauties.

Wow. That's amazing.
Sugar Magnolia

Winnipeg Fairgrounds

Not quite a Sugar Mag, and not quite a "Pick a Bail of Cotton" on which, it should now be totally evident, the former is based. Who knew? Fun and historically important. Worth a once-over, at least.
