Hot version from a killer first set! Short but heady jam. AUD for full effect.

Short version, but some great MIDI playing. You can hear how deeply influenced Garcia was by saxophonists.

I Need A Miracle

Springfield Civic Center

Ah, you beat me to it! Second above, and I've honestly never heard the "Miracle" material done so well.

Shreddy bouncy triplet Jerry!
Playin' In The Band

Rotterdam Civic Hall

I honestly haven't heard the rest of the '72 box yet (working through parts of '90, '84, '78-9, '73), but I have this show in pretty frequent rotation every time I have like 4 full hours I can listen to something. The whole show is fantastic, and this PITB opener is just unreal. Slow Jerry peak mid-way through, superb band interplay. Although I'm a bourbon man myself.

St. Louis Arena

Thanks man. I posted that a while ago, and I think this is the best version of this tune from the 04-77–06-77 run of shows.

Winterland Arena

Yeah, this is a superior version. During most of the May versions of this tune, I kept wanting them to stretch out a little, and they do here. The result is worth hearing!
