Greatest Story Ever Told
Oct. 27, 1972
Veterans' Memorial Hall
Electrifying set opener (I think) that shows off that St. St. connection brilliantly.

Me and Bobby McGee

Veterans' Memorial Hall
Jerry's backup vocals give this one sweet emotion. Chronically under-appreciated song.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Oct. 26, 1972
Music Hall
Tight, nice CC. Seems like 1st moment of the set the band is firing on all cylinders. Trans. stretches to great IKYR.

Bird Song
Oct. 26, 1972
Music Hall
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.

Truckin'
Oct. 24, 1972
Performing Arts Center
Pity the SQ is so flat, as this one cooks up nice and hot, with some extra melodicism in the outro jam before D>TOO. This show needs a SBD infusion.

Overlooked. This is a brilliant version.
Sugaree

Winterland Arena
Keith is glorious throughout this beauty. I'll admit when I see a 14 minute Sugaree there's a part of me that says 'uh-oh, hope it doesn't drag....' But this is just pristine throughout: Hot jams, clear ideas and solos, with mindbending guitar effects that think are the first-ever for their kind. And that Godchaux fella tickling the keys. Nice one!
Its All Over Now

Winterland Arena
After two shaky songs to start the first set Bobby comes steaming in with this beauty.
Morning Dew

Robertson Gym, UC Santa Barbara
For any era for Morning Dews this is top shelf. Drops on the heads out of nowhere, capping off a good - but not necessarily great - 2nd set.
Dark Star
Feb. 18, 1971
Capitol Theater
Music to practice levitation to. Also the best damn Rat Sandwich you'll probably ever eat.
