The Race Is On

War Memorial

The most shit-kickinest version I know. Real swagger and Phil bombs early in the set.

Rochester Community War Memorial

Strong version from a forgotten show. Whole second set on this show is SB, not AUD. Worth multiple listenings, great jazzy jam.

Rochester Community War Memorial

An intense, tight, and blisteringly hot version in a forgotten show. DO NOT IGNORE! Archive is SB, not AUD w/ decent sound. Listen to it!

Rochester Community War Memorial

Listen through the murk of the AUD recording and you find a beautiful exploratory version. Headphones only.

Civic Center

Intense energy and deep exploration coming after (!) a massive Dark Star and a shredding Eyes to close out one hell of a concert.

This is a stellar version, and should be much higher than 2 votes!

Great comment Grendel!

Donnie is right. This is liquid fire from start to finish. Parts of this show have air-play precision, note-by-note perfection and total balance. The BEW in the first set does. This closer JBG does too.
Morning Dew
Dec. 15, 1972
Long Beach Arena

Part of a beautiful and mysterious suite. Truckin'>Jam>Dark Star>Morning Dew. The Dew comes blazing out of the funny, understated Star and captures the power and the beauty.
Dark Star
Dec. 15, 1972
Long Beach Arena

An inside-out Dark Star, starting with the beautiful, inspired jam out of Truckin' and hitting the lyrics almost as a side-event on the way to Morning Dew. Definitely listen from Truckin' forward, rather than starting on the track listing. Wonderful stuff.
