Because every song in this show deserves to be here. This is a solid rocking version, just excellent.

One of the perfect ones, and one of the last songs from this epic show to be posted here: A near perfect show from '72, one of the best.

Jer: "This is a new song... and it goes exactly like this". Pigpen: "No it don't." Either way, it kicks like the good stuff.

Shocked it isn't here yet. Did you stop at Donna's beastly howl? If you did, you missed Jerry rip spacetime. Listen up and dig this Playin', really.

"Thank's Texans" Phil sez to the NY crowd. This one is a rollicking good time. Jer is all over it behind a great Cowboy Bob showcase.

Immense Depth. We all know/love china>rider, yes me too. But listen to this Rider on its own and therein find a key to the immense depth to this band we love called the Grateful Dead.

Show doesn't get much love, but this Playin' has everything in it except a complete meltdown. Good solid groove throughout with many stages, just as coralsandbelow put it.

Symphonic arcs in this stellar example of why '72 Stars are so well loved. Rises, falls, rises again: melodic strands sneak into the melty bits, and all along they all just seem perfectly in sync. Needs several listens to appreciate just how truly epic (a word I don't use lightly) this one really is.

I can't stop listening to this. Really, it's been like four days straight and it just blows me away each time.

Friends don't think the Dead rock hard? Or that they're just 'a bunch of hippies'? Want to convince a metalhead that the Dead had been there and done all that over 40 years ago? Want to blow your freakin' mind? Here's your boy right here.
