8
Feelin' Groovy Jam
Super interesting jam out of a surprising Truckin' > NFBM jam > Drums > Feeling Groovy jam. The first few min of keys/drum/bass after drums is $$$$

Brown Eyed Women
Acres of deep 1972 swing, anchored by Phil and Billy, well sung by Jerry, and beautifully accented by Keith and Bobby.
6
Tomorrow Is Forever
Donna as Dolly Parton, Jerry as Porter Wagoner: What more do you want? This should be heard by Donna haters everywhere.

Tennessee Jed
Bites down hard, with a potent electric twang, plus Keith is full of surprises here.
10
Playin' In The Band
I have trouble understanding why this isn't already here, other than the embarrassment of riches that is Fall '72.
5
Black Throated Wind
A perfectly rendered, tightly orchestrated soaring arc from one of the most inexplicably underated shows of Fall '72. Listen in: Bobby's in pure form.
6
Cumberland Blues
Tight frolic, without the verge-of-chaos coal car vibe from the era. Bobby's contrib. is spot on, and Jer drops a "Went to Toledo" quote.
13
He's Gone
Extra-special sauce on this one: The outro goes into a long unique jam before the gospel bit. The band is completely unified.

Greatest Story Ever Told
Peak era for GSET. Jerry spontaneously combusts into a string-shredding inferno.
1
Promised Land
A non dial in the mix Promised Land with a take a step back immediately afterwards should be here
1
Cold Rain and Snow
Just about every other song from this show is on HV, so this should be too. Despite that fact, this show as a whole needs more love - it's excellent.
