Not the best from E72, but the transitions out of DS and into Caution are unbelievably tight. Billy tears it up on this one.

A lovely little gem. The outro jam is starting to stretch.

Another E72 ripper!

Not the tightest ending, but Jerry is all over this one.

Sweet rendition. Almost sounds like they’re trying to get back to Bird Song before Phil starts The Other One.

Me and My Uncle
March 26, 1972
Academy of Music

This Uncle seems to take everyone by surprise, but after a bit of confusion, they deliver a great version. Tight playing, good vocals, and a nice touch of organ from Pig.

Jerry DEMOLISHES the jam in this one. The overall sound and execution isn't great compared to the others from this run, but holy moly, that guitar solo.
Cumberland Blues
March 21, 1972
Academy of Music

Cumberland was cooking at the Academy shows, but I think this might be the best of the run. The intensity of the jam just keeps on building.

Winterland Arena

Everyone seems to be taken by surprise by this transition. Jerry even forgets to sing the 2nd verse and just does the 3rd one twice.

^^^Couldn't have said it better. I can't believe I forgot to write a description of this great track.
