Whopping late '77 version of this, the Dead intuitively coasting the waves of the atmosphere's collective imagination.

Playin' In The Band
Aug. 27, 1972
Old Renaissance Faire Grounds

God damn, staggering Playin'. They're so damn locked in they're starting to sound like Coltrane, McCoy, Jimmy Garrison and Elvin Jones. This is definitely the only rock music i would compare to that. I think 8/27/72 has to be my choice for best Dead gig ever.
Sugar Magnolia
April 7, 1972
Wembley Empire Pool

Breathtaking transition from a sprawling, regal Dark Star into a RIPPING Sugar Mag on this gig. Pure Euro 72 goodness.
