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.

Nice long ride. Up and down, squiggling peaks followed by blissful space, followed by further peaks....

Just amazing. Where's the rest of the show?

Nice but incomplete. We'd be grateful for any link to a full show during this amazingly dead month.

The meltdown shoots you out of a cannon like surpise ayahuasca after the deceptively mellow vocals.

Short and sweet. Really mellow vocals followed by a shot-out-of-the-cannon meltdown right into a great Eyes.
