Bertha
Kickoff to an epic show. Pig's organ, Billy's drumming, Kieth are all high points, not to mention the usual fine work from "the other ones"

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Absolutely flawless. Such a wonderful transition. Never-ending peaks.

Tennessee Jed
Kieth is doing some wonderfully inventive stuff here. It's Europe '72 so you know it's good

Jack Straw
Just got the EU '72 box set and threw this one on. Had to hear without the studio effects. Still smokes and still is oh so good!

Beat it on Down The Line
Tight, inspired, rockin'. Best of the Euro '72 run. Give it some love, folks!
19
Playin' In The Band
Massive and dark with fantastic interplay between everybody on stage. Doesn't quite melt down, but dances next to chaos just perfectly.

Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad
Show is all highlights, and NFA-GDRFB-NFA caps it in style. Listen to the whole set for full effect and feel the love.
19
Good Lovin'
Phil and Pigpen interplay like few others I know. Brilliant and clear, with a thumping good vibe.

Not Fade Away
Flawless trance-inducing NFA with a perfect transition into GDTRFB. Note for note perfect show.
