Berkeley Community Theatre

A wonderful Jerry/Phil duet on this one. Not quite the legend of Veneta, but still very strong in its own right.

Excellent jams. Mix/sound is off, but this is still a must hear version!

Very lyrical and melodic playing by Jerry. A pretty unique version, one of my favorites.

Awesome flowing buildups and peaks during the first jam especially. A bit under the radar, but definitely one of the best of 1972!!!

Parc des Expositions

Sweet fusion-style Caution jam with major hints of MLB. Builds to a fiery Garcia climax!!

Not Fade Away

Baltimore Civic Center

The first half is out of control. It slows a bit in the middle, but the transition into GDTRFB is killer. Better than Cornell for sure (IMHO of course).

The groove on this one is outrageous! Fantastic interplay on this slow burner masterpiece!

Seems like the best NFAs are in '71!!! This is my second fave after the epic 11-15-71.

A unique version...sounds like they're gonna quit right after the song, then all of a sudden its off to happy melody jam land!
