In a week of very good Deals, this one struts its stuff. Fine and full of fun, listen to Jerry shine.

You need the Sir Mick source on IA as some of the shows seem to be the night before. Muddy sound but a good version of the few times this song was pla

Brilliant quality aud recording from Glassberg. https://archive.org/details/gd1977-05-03.aud.glassberg.motb.0042.86241.flac16 Give the whole show a whirl, even by May '77 standards it's good.

Probably because the SQ of this show is poor up until Jack Straw means many people probably just miss out. This starts just '72 good like any of the above shows then Jerry goes shredding mad!!! Also listen out for the Dark Star from this show-also V.G

Thing is Phil's voice was always a bit dodgy,and after 1973 isn't up to it. Maybe they should have let Jerry and Donna sing it.
He's Gone

Baltimore Civic Center

After looking down this list, I went to this show and started at the beginning. Wow,what a good He's Gone, but what a good show all in all. A Candyman(rare for 73, Jerry flubbs the lyrics but makes up for it. Great show.

Stanley Theatre

this gets played each of the three nights of this mini run. All are stellar. 1972 is such a fine year for the Dead and this song. I can't pick the best 3 from the September run of shows let alone from the whole year. My brain hurts again.........
