Note for note precise, beautiful playing. The outro is lovely and doesn't descend into madness. Donna gives it a nice gospel touch.

Kicks off arguably the best show of '72. Tight, fun, and rockin'. Great show opener.

If this were any week in Dead history other than before Veneta, it would already have 20 votes. Give it a listen. The whole show rocks.

Keith's versatility from swooshing psychedelic soarer to a honky-tonk barrelhouse master is on full display.

Pretty much note for note perfect, like this whole show.

Overlooked. This is a brilliant version.
Sugaree

Winterland Arena

Keith is glorious throughout this beauty. I'll admit when I see a 14 minute Sugaree there's a part of me that says 'uh-oh, hope it doesn't drag....' But this is just pristine throughout: Hot jams, clear ideas and solos, with mindbending guitar effects that think are the first-ever for their kind. And that Godchaux fella tickling the keys. Nice one!
Its All Over Now

Winterland Arena

After two shaky songs to start the first set Bobby comes steaming in with this beauty.
Morning Dew

Robertson Gym, UC Santa Barbara

For any era for Morning Dews this is top shelf. Drops on the heads out of nowhere, capping off a good - but not necessarily great - 2nd set.

Capitol Theater

Music to practice levitation to. Also the best damn Rat Sandwich you'll probably ever eat.
