Ripping as usual in '72...

Nice one in an excellent suite at a great show!

Nice early version from the new box set!

Ripping opener with a unique solo from Jerry!

Jerry and Bob are both really good on this one. Phil and Bill drive it forward nicely as well -- doesn't drag at all like some do.

Is it just me, or does that bluesy jam at the very end sound like a precursor to "Blues For Allah" (the title track)?

Perhaps the best version. Great, underrated show despite having been officially released for a few years now...

Maybe the best NFA/GDTR sandwich of the tour...it's up there.

^I'm glad you mentioned 2/13/70, Blue_Roses, as I think this show is one of the few others that has those immaculate vibes, that effortless, music-plays-the-band inertia. Likely no coincidence that like 2/13, they were allegedly tripping a little harder than usual here. There's hardly any banter between songs compared to other shows on this tour, which would usually be a minus for me, but in this case it functions to not "break the fourth wall" — I find this show has a cinematic quality to it. I also think you could argue that it's a bit like a 1970 show played in '72. Apart from PITB, the first set is decidedly not trippy, but rather like an acoustic set played electric almost...

Tight little devil coming out of the cold-start GDTRFB...
