Nice version in the middle of a huge Set II. Whole set is worth a listen!

This wasn't on here? Jerry's tone is dialed in, and it's infused with the spirit of the opening "Stranger"

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

Shreddy bouncy triplet Jerry!

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.

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.

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!
