Dec. '72 turns out to be a nice little peak for BEW. Perfect shuffle, air-play tightness, great soloing, just enough country. Bobby nicely audible.

A super-fun frolicing romp. They just seem to have loved playing this tune.

Pristine, air-play quality in a deep pocket with note-for-note perfection all 'round. Surprised not to see it here already.

Smokin' desperado polka here with superbly tight playing at a faster-than normal pace. A galloping riot and heaps of fun.

Shredding goodness, coming late in the set after a killer Star>Stella. Great show all around.

Extensive and exploring jam suggesting what might have come of this song had it stayed in rotation a bit longer.

A wild ride. Great fun.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Can't see +31's comments, (beta glitch?) but I'm going to agree with Cuse15420: The hot youthful energy is packed so tight that China Cat just bursts at its seams. Then the Rider is full of exhuberence and passion. If you love '69 (and really, heads, really) then this is kick-assed version and all around epic show should really do it for you.

Listen to the whole show (in the right order cuz the Archive set order is screwy) and you'll get it. The whole thing is a Love Light Sandwich that climaxes so intensely you'll have to hose yourself down. Ohhhhhh, to have been there....

High velocity and somehow ordering chaos like only the '69 Dead knew how to do. The whole show is just a blazing glory.
