High energy, and remarkable that they could pull it off after an hour of continuous jamming. Great show all round.

In spite of equipment stalls the set really takes off here. Great Miller mix showcases Bobby in the left channel. Beautiful version.

Keith is high in the mix and it's just brilliant. The NFA was a bit sloppy, but they nail the GDTRFB and the outro.

Fast and loose, with great Keith barrelhouse fills. Jerry doesn't want to quit. Good fun.

For a song that I'll admit to tuning out often, I'd have to rate this one much much higher than its present 2 votes. This kicks off with a high voltage, almost Cumberland feel and never lets up. Relentless drive, uptempo chaotic whitewater feel, Jerry ablaze with ideas. A great version.

Great story behind this one in "Long Strange Trip" told by Dennis Wiz Leonard about 15 minutes into the 3rd Act. One of the all time great moments capping Europe '72.

Keith's ascending power chords as Bobby ramps it up are just brilliant. I haven't heard it quite like that before. Just brilliant.

Some of Keith's best (and therefore the GD's best) piano soloing ever. Just fantastic.
