Yeah, Sugar Mag okay... but the Sunshine Daydream is tops. Just kills me each time I hear it.

Top form from a great 2nd set then into a ballsy TOO jam (no lyrics) and then one of the best Eyes of all time.

Let It Grow

Nassau Coliseum

First-ever performance. Mid-way they let it grow into experimental bliss. A must-have for LIG fans.

Intense jaming and crystal clear guitar work, plus Billy's hard driving makes it a barn-burner. Gets better each listen.

Really smooth and mellow groove 2nd set opener from a solid show after a month in the studio. Hard to see why not here yet.

Tivolis Koncertsal

An absolute beauty, note-for-note perfect and deserving all its praise. This is the FM airplay quality of the Dead's live work that turned on all Europe. Tivolis is arguably my favourite all-round concert from the '72 Europe tour.
U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)

Best banter of the year? Jerry tells people to stop throwing joints on the stage and 'light 'em up and pass them around' instead. Bobby claims they were going to wear gorilla suits but they lost the key to the wardrobe.... Seems like everyone was having a good old time.

Insane rager. The sound quality is muffled, so this beast should be best heard on headphones. This one might be even more fun than the brilliant one just before this 04/27. They keep taking it higher and higher, stepping up intensity until the crowd sounds like they're in an ecstasy. Spring '77... it really is just that good.

Agreed that this would really benefit from a SBD or matrix. I'm no AUD-phobe and love the warm sense of being there you can get only from the tapers, but hearing that crowd roar at the vocal peaks, hearing the harmonies Donna sneaks in behind Jerry, getting a better mix together for Bobby, or a less compressed sound and this one goes to the very top.

Upvoting Freedomhaul's perfect comment. This is Barlow and Bobby's crowning achievement.
