Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad
Oct. 19, 1972
Fox Theatre
One of the rare versions that stands apart with or without its NFA bread.

For a song that was effectively out of rotation at this point, they pulled it off with sing-round-the-campfire sweetness. Jerry growls it out.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Oct. 19, 1972
Fox Theatre
Sweet version with an innovative transition. The whole band was on, but Keith and Phil are high in the mix and brilliant..

Recording is good, with Keith and Phil high in the mix. Everyone is switched way on, and the jamming shows perfect unity.

Band recovers from a flubbed BTW and charges forward with this powerful rocker. Jerry and Keith's interplay as it rises is spectacular.

Big Railroad Blues
Nov. 7, 1971
Harding Theatre
The levels on my copy are all way up in the red, the sound over-saturated and distorting, and I looooooove it. Slamming along at full locomotive power and just killing it.

Would nominate this as a good "entry-level" version for someone who likes old rock and roll, but isn't tuned into live Dead yet. Strong, solid, grooving pulse. Would also nominate this as a sweet-assed groove to dance nice and slow to with your lover. Just sayin'.
The Other One
Nov. 6, 1971
Harding Theater
Bobby introduces with "We're going to do a Hugo Winterhalter song now", which is pretty Prankster when you think about it.

Jerry just can't stop here, and pulls them back from ending it not once, but twice, to great comic and great rock'n'roll effect. Loose as all hell, but he can play that guitar just like ringing a bell! Hell of a show opener.
El Paso
Oct. 31, 1971
Ohio Theatre
Jerry sounds like champagne bubbles throughout. It's like he's got fifteen extra fingers.
