Toe-tappin' and up-tempo with great vocals - Phil sounds amazing on the out chorus. Fun stuff!

The last 35 min of this show are just beautiful. From NFA till the end it's just smooth sailing goddamned good times Grateful Dead. Enjoy.

No Pig rap or sonic dose of the clap like others from the era, a a glorious slow-boiling jam over 18 minutes well worth the listen.

Sing Me Back Home

Baltimore Civic Center

Yeah, this is one of the best. Doesn't drag at all, vocals in great shape. Beautiful version.
I Know You Rider

Golden State Studios

The most Kingston Trio-ish I've ever heard them sound. What fun. Haven't listened to this in a while, but the comment on "Can't Come Down" brought me here. Cool stuff.

Glad you dig it, darkstar67. The whole second set is balls-to-the wall, with some grit and power.
Playin' In The Band
Sept. 17, 1972
Baltimore Civic Center

Keith's work here is superb. He and Jerry are in perfect mind meld. This period for Playin' is such an embarrassment of riches, how could you choose just one favorite? I love how this one finds a beautiful quiet spot mid-way in, gives Billy and Phil some space, then comes sizzling back in like waves of heat off a burning meteor.

The comments are spot on. The punchiness on this one gives in a powerful driven feel. Almost sounds like a musical argument in places: right after the last lyrics in CC, it sounds to me like Jerry tried to pull out a minor variation the Phil vetoed. Anyone else hear it?
