Greatest Story Ever Told

Veterans' Memorial Hall

Electrifying set opener (I think) that shows off that St. St. connection brilliantly.

Jerry's backup vocals give this one sweet emotion. Chronically under-appreciated song.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Tight, nice CC. Seems like 1st moment of the set the band is firing on all cylinders. Trans. stretches to great IKYR.

Compelling version with Jerry exploring new ideas. It doesn't quite soar like other Fall '72s, but still stretches out and worth a close listen.

Truckin'

Performing Arts Center

Pity the SQ is so flat, as this one cooks up nice and hot, with some extra melodicism in the outro jam before D>TOO. This show needs a SBD infusion.

Playin' In The Band

Jerry shredding Playin', turning it on, up, inside out. Ridiculous light-speed soloing. This is why I listen to the Dead.

He's Gone>Truckin>TOO>Eyes = over 60 minutes of perfect jamming as they got their amazing '73 sound together in this wet dream of a 2nd set .

A favorite. This is what I listen for in an Eyes.

Check out the 'silence' around 7:30 followed by Phil's amazing sonic boom re-entry to go into the verse. Bang!
