This one has a great high-energy jam, and of course the Pig factor for the final time ever.

It's a 1972 Playing, so of course it deserves attention! The jam in this one doesn't take off like others from late 72, but the reprise is very well executed.

The whole sequence is amazing. I recently noticed that Jerry quotes "And We Bid You Goodnight" around the 5 minute mark of the 2nd Alligator.

Boy, this one just cries out for a full SBD. What we do have sounds amazing.

After some initial sound issues, this one takes off, and the jam is outta sight! It doesn't get as intense as others from this period, but the band's interplay is outstanding.
