Greatest Story Ever Told

Veterans' Memorial Hall

Electrifying set opener (I think) that shows off that St. St. connection brilliantly.

Jerry's backup vocals give this one sweet emotion. Chronically under-appreciated song.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Tight, nice CC. Seems like 1st moment of the set the band is firing on all cylinders. Trans. stretches to great IKYR.

Compelling version with Jerry exploring new ideas. It doesn't quite soar like other Fall '72s, but still stretches out and worth a close listen.

Pity the SQ is so flat, as this one cooks up nice and hot, with some extra melodicism in the outro jam before D>TOO. This show needs a SBD infusion.

Not the psychedelic exploration of death and dying BP can be, but a smooth low-boil groove with great soul.

"Cumberland Polka". Just simply amazing.

Fragile like a little bird, then soaring. A beautiful jewel.

Typically a FFW moment for me (go tape!) but this one held my attention and gets a star. Bobby's on!
