Dark Star
Amazing recording thanks to Bear and a spectacular performance...stick around through the Dew, I promise you will not be disappointed

Casey Jones
Absolutely on fire set 2 ender. Jerry is just killing it, very high energy supercharged version.

Loser
Jerry's diamond hard-edged tone slices and slashes achingly, hauntingly, and clear desperado mode.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Look for the Bear recording, which is the proper speed: You'll find a killer version with an explosive transition than just soars.

Brown Eyed Women
The Bear tape is a bit over-saturated, but the band is just killing it from all corners. Don't pass this one up out of aud-o-phobia.

Feelin' Groovy Jam
How is this not already here? The last two minutes of a 31min Dark Star, has to be the fastest, most energetic rendition. Leads into Dew!

Box of Rain
I think November '72 was the best period for this song, and this one is no exception. Phil crushes the ending.

Cold Rain and Snow
Great opener at perhaps the most underrated show of the year, at least based upon the ratings here...I have it as a Top 25 show of '72.
