Cumberland Blues

Springfield Civic Center

Tight frolic, without the verge-of-chaos coal car vibe from the era. Bobby's contrib. is spot on, and Jer drops a "Went to Toledo" quote.

Springfield Civic Center

A perfectly rendered, tightly orchestrated soaring arc from one of the most inexplicably underated shows of Fall '72. Listen in: Bobby's in pure form.

I have trouble understanding why this isn't already here, other than the embarrassment of riches that is Fall '72.

One of the best I know. Hard chargin' and up tempo hot stuff.

Bites down hard, with a potent electric twang, plus Keith is full of surprises here.

Jerry shredding Playin', turning it on, up, inside out. Ridiculous light-speed soloing. This is why I listen to the Dead.

He's Gone>Truckin>TOO>Eyes = over 60 minutes of perfect jamming as they got their amazing '73 sound together in this wet dream of a 2nd set .

Check out the 'silence' around 7:30 followed by Phil's amazing sonic boom re-entry to go into the verse. Bang!
