Playin' In The Band
There's nothing like the Good Ole Hyper-Experimental Grateful Dead. Some heavy heady vicious stuff here.

The Other One
If Picasso's 'Guernica' had a small cut in it it would still be a masterpiece. This TOO has a bad cut in the recording but is still a masterpiece. A+

Uncle John's Band
Relly on the final extended jam is just pure Jerry Garcia magic, beautiful version, sweet encore
4
Bertha
A hot rocker with Phil high in the mix. This is a "get up and dance" version with everyone clearly having a blast.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Why no love for this great show? It isn't one of the top 10 for the year - but it's '72 and they're flowing just exactly perfect.

Truckin'
Hard-charging diesel burner here. Bobby's nice and high in the mix, so a nice treat. The jam into TOO is brilliant.

Sugar Magnolia
Uptempo, intense, driving statement of holy-fuckiyana rock'n'roll. Not one I usually +1, but this is worth it. The SSDD is dynamite.
