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!!

Great rec, this version definitely kicks major ass. One of my favorite '78s.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

University of Nevada

This is the infamous "Washoe zephyr" show but they are definitely ON for this number!!! Like Keith's piano work going into the jam and Garcia is just burning as brightly as that headlight...
