Kiel Auditorium

A massive, heavy, rocketship of a performance: Explosive liftoff, mining expedition to deep space, smoking craters, then a long sweet fast ride home.

A beautifully rendered rare treat with a nice emotional arc and sweet harmonies.

Hot building and building jam. One of those shows where just every song rocks. Nothing wrong here...

Great solos, tight ensemble playing kicking of the 2nd set from a great show. Energetic and blazing.

Tight and right. The band is charged up and having fun together. Great energy.

The Other One
Sept. 28, 1972
Stanley Theatre

Brilliant version. There's a unique space around minute 13:00 where Jerry is almost alone in the darkness, tweaking and reaching out, followed by whooshing zooms that can give you flashbacks forty-five-odd (very odd) years later, not to mention the under-water sea adventure that it leads into before a great meltdown for the ages. This is the goods, heads.

Could be the mix or the levels, but I am digging Phil's precise, technically flawless playing here. His subtlety and finesse are too easily overlooked. Reminds me of why I always aimed for the Phil zone whenever I could.

Classically under-rated song. Listen to Jerry's continuous percolating cantina gingerbread like a pot of boiling beans, while Phil gives a perfect master-class. Great version.
Greatest Story Ever Told

Stanley Theatre

One of those moments where the band just explodes with the pure joy of playing wonderful music together. Jerry just launches Stephen like a trebuchet.

Jbrucer: Hope you found the archive more to your liking. I know I did. "Ripping" is the right word for this UJB. Sounds like they didn't want to stop playing and just got warm.
