They Love Each Other

Cow Palace

Pretty darn perfect. Mellow funkiness of 76 with 77 precision.

Madison Square Garden

Contains a cool Samson and Delilah jam with each member (incl. Vince) contributing equally. Everyone is on.

Jerry is clearly in the mood to rock out in this show, and this song benefits from it. Raw. Great solos. Very funky.

Kongressaal, Deutsches Museum

Band bristles with restrained energy. Jerry's voice is scratchy and perfect. Great harmony on the chorus.

Fast start to a great and under-appreciated first set.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Madison Square Garden

The Rider is insane.
New Minglewood Blues

Capital Centre

Really takes off in the second half.
Dark Star
April 24, 1972
Rheinhalle

Stiff competition, but it's my personal favorite from Europe 72.
Jack Straw

Capitol Theatre

Catches me on the first "share" every time. Too bad about Jerry's voice, but otherwise, it's a real standout.
