He's Gone
Aug. 12, 1972
Sacramento Memorial Auditorium
Sweet outro on this one. Donna's got the sweet harmony and Phil with the bass vox makes it pretty kind.

Me and My Uncle
Aug. 12, 1972
Sacramento Memorial Auditorium
MAMU is so often overlooked, but this one is hiding in plain sight. Hard jumpin' rocker here with a savage pulse, and great banter after.

Sugar Magnolia

Paramount Theater
After the ultra-outre Dark Star, this pure rock and roll distillate is just perfect goodness. A burner with Billy hard charging in 4-wheel drive.

You Win Again

Note for note perfect. The only reason it isn't here yet is that the shows between Europe and Berkeley/Veneta are too often overlooked.

Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad

Paramount Theater
Possibly the highest energy piece in the whole show. An excellent jam that left the crowd smiling, for certain.

Lazy Lightnin' -> Supplication

May just be the best ever.
Lazy Lightnin' -> Supplication

Oh yeah, this one sizzles. The Lightning portion is a bit short, but the great tightness and exhuberence to the Supplication makes up for it.
Brokedown Palace

Hill Auditorium
December '71 is one of the most consistently perfect months in Dead history. This tour has so many highlights its an embarrassment of riches, and has some of the best vocals ever.
Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad
Dec. 10, 1971
Fox Theatre
Shows the genius of the group. The segue follows several other examples of surprising song melding throughout the second set. What fun. Check out the TOO>MAMUJam>TOO>Sittin' On Top Of The World>TOO a few minutes prior. Makes me think they were putting Keith to the test, saying 'alright freshman, how about we play every single thing we know all at once and make it sound amazing'...!
Comes A Time

Freshness and power to the early versions. Jer's voice is strong and this one's a beaut.
