How in this magic week did this powerhouse version with perfect vocals not yet get voted up? Give a spin, you aren't going to regret it.

Perfection. They could do no wrong this week, and this FOTD is no exception. Perfection.

Tight ensemble playing with perfect sound. This is one of the great shows of the year.

Already listed as the CC>IKYR, but this jam stands on its own. One of the tightest from start to finish.

Brilliant outro and high-energy version, a bit more up-tempo than others from the time. All-round sweet show, overshadowed by other giants of Aug. '72

Thanks a lot Blob Weird. That's one of my favorite versions and I'll check it out again for the tease. I love how the Dead mix everything together - the delicate theme from WRS right in the middle of a sweaty Pig blues... and why not? Sorry about the double post. UPDATE: It's actualy in the outro of TOO after MAMU, not Hard to Handle, but it's certainly there. Cool!

WRS Prelude "tease" at 3:13 of the reprise. It's absolutely clear. Does anybody know of one earlier? Anybody? Also a very beautiful and great jam after MAMU.

Sweet and honest, this song always gives me chills. The Betty Board is oh so nice.

Starts as a whisper and takes its time, filled with silences and, well, space, not "Space". It builds then into the great musical promise that is Dark Star at its most wonderous and beautiful.
