Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo
Sometimes I can't come up with the words...this is one of those times

Truckin'
Massive driving groove leading straight into one of the top DS of all time. My ears hear a flirt with NFBM jam that never quite hatches.

Brown Eyed Women
Absolutely close to perfect version. A beautiful little jam and sung with such passion has that extra little magic.

Mexicali Blues
Very un and easily among the best couple Mexicali Blues of All time. Great work by Bobby n Jerry on this one.

Bird Song
Wow they really nailed this song in august of 1972. Very amazing not quite Veneta but not far off.

Tennessee Jed
Right after this powerful version, there's a lovely segment where Donna introduces herself and her husband to Deadheads.

Sugaree
Sweet rocker from this magical week of Dead perfection. Sleek and clean, this is a beaut of a version.

Me and My Uncle
Keith's versatility from swooshing psychedelic soarer to a honky-tonk barrelhouse master is on full display.

Greatest Story Ever Told
If this were any week in Dead history other than before Veneta, it would already have 20 votes. Give it a listen. The whole show rocks.
