Kind of shocked so many songs from this show hadn't been nominated...top-notch '72 IMO, and this China>Rider is no exception...

Big fan of the '72 "Deal"'s...they 'go down' in a hurry.

Phil is doing some really cool stuff around the 3-min mark in Supplication

^Depends on the song IMO, heady_eddy. In the case of Peggy-O, slow is definitely better though. Great version and underrated show!

Love Jerry's references to "Everyday People" during his first little solo break at around 2:30. Great version.

I wish these European versions had the "shine on me" coda to feel complete, because the rest of the song is certainly played as well as it ever was on this tour. Love Jerry's slide work around the 10-minute mark in this one.

I really like the setlist pacing of putting this right before an epic DS, just like they did the show before this one in Paris.
