Kicks off arguably the best show of '72. Tight, fun, and rockin'. Great show opener.

If this were any week in Dead history other than before Veneta, it would already have 20 votes. Give it a listen. The whole show rocks.

Keith's versatility from swooshing psychedelic soarer to a honky-tonk barrelhouse master is on full display.

Pretty much note for note perfect, like this whole show.

Sweet rocker from this magical week of Dead perfection. Sleek and clean, this is a beaut of a version.

Jerry's tone on this is dialed all the way in. Really special soloing on this one.
Comes A Time

Powerful. Perfectly executed. The track list for the complete show on the archive is off by one song, so it has Comes a Time coming in at an extraordinary 36 minutes and 28 seconds, which is pretty funny when you think about it. In any case, they really pull this one off beautifully, even if it's a mere 6:40....

Well I guess just like Bobby on this version, sometimes people just fuck up the words.
Chinatown Shuffle

Jahrhunderthalle

Coming off of an extraordinarily energetic Playin', this one has an extra oomph with the tempo just a bit higher, and Billy's back beat kicking it forward with a great, almost reckless driving pulse.

Absolutely in need of more votes. If you listen carefully, you can hear exactly when they break the badassery barrier. Jerry shreds like a man possessed, Keith is brilliant, Billy all over it, and of course Bobby and Donna are in perfect sync.
