Because every song in this show deserves to be here. This is a solid rocking version, just excellent.

One of the perfect ones, and one of the last songs from this epic show to be posted here: A near perfect show from '72, one of the best.

Jer: "This is a new song... and it goes exactly like this". Pigpen: "No it don't." Either way, it kicks like the good stuff.

Shocked it isn't here yet. Did you stop at Donna's beastly howl? If you did, you missed Jerry rip spacetime. Listen up and dig this Playin', really.

"Thank's Texans" Phil sez to the NY crowd. This one is a rollicking good time. Jer is all over it behind a great Cowboy Bob showcase.

Could be much higher. This soars. Comments on the linked show discuss different versions out there that might bring down the tinniness of Brent's keys, so I'm looking forward to discovering this show with its brilliant set list.

Right there with you Cucamonga... Couldn't have said it better myself!

Dude 420, you want some weird? Check out the Playin' from Dec. 2nd '73. My weird fave.... Peace, brother.
Dupree's Diamond Blues

Brilliant raw vocals here, plus a raw, hard-rockin' outro unlike any of the Dupree's I ever got to hear 15 years or so later....

Sounds like half the band didn't make it back from the TIFTOO before this and were left stranded somewhere out past Alpha Centauri.... This is the most scattered Charlie I've ever heard. I kind of love how messed up it is, but it certainly isn't the best one out there.
