7
Big River
Country Rock. Played with excitement and flair.
6
Me and Bobby McGee
sweet as ever, get on it
9
Sing Me Back Home
Gorgeous the whole sequence of He's Gone->Truckin->O1->SMBH is just breathtakingly powerful only the Dead could pull this much power and emotion off.
7
Truckin'
Just when it seems like they've decided on O1 as the jam vehicle of choice, they suddenly switch to a great Truckin'.
6
The Other One
Nice jazziness coming out of Truckin'. Phil hints at a few solo themes he would develop later on, and Jerry shreds before the verse reprise.
3
Sugaree
So smooth, so warm. 2nd song in the show, and they sound like its late 2nd set. Gem of a show, gem of a song.
5
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
This CC is so sweet and much longer than others of the era before signaling the >IKYR, with lots of room to stretch out and find the sound.
8
He's Gone
A long, smooth outro allows for a little musical discussion whether it's going to TOO or Truckin'. Great stuff that must have stolen many faces.
3
Uncle John's Band
Hard rockin' version coming after a deliriously epic 2nd set suite. Crunchy and powerful.
4
Greatest Story Ever Told
they extend the jam on this one and bring you to the swamp its a killer
3
Box of Rain
Sweet harmonies with an electric edge
5
Bertha
Packs that '72 Punch
2
Promised Land
Bursts forth -- great way to start the show/ your day
2
Me and My Uncle
Taught me all I know
6
Black Throated Wind
Keeps on pouring in
2
Brown Eyed Women
I love this show
1
Mexicali Blues
Jangles, bounces and rolls ,,, energetic take where Jer + Bob go in different directions together on this one...
2
Loser
How is this not on here? I must say, this makes me lose a lot of respect for this site.
