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

The Other One
Real nice segment out of a scorching 1972 post truckin' jam this is real hot weaves right out of it gorgeous like they were meant to be together

Casey Jones
Real nice slow burner super heady, Jerry is really on and phil is just there bombing away

Sing Me Back Home
One of my absolute favorite Grateful Dead covers, so much power and absolutely cathartic journey is taking during this beauty.

Black Throated Wind
A truly stand out version Bobby giving his absolute all, really a great performance.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Another standout version from 1972 whole show has the extra spark
2
Sugaree
Hard swaggering version from a sweet, if not often overlooked show capping off one of the great months in Dead history.

Uncle John's Band
Hard rock outro makes this one jaw-clenchingly good. Jamming like that in 7/4 is just awesome.
