Massive Phil crushing boulders while this version lurches all over the place Jer with a strong effort after over a year for the whip out and he muscles it out for the ending....hmmm

Yup Grendel - I agree this one is more developed and overall better - while back at the Berkeley show they definitely slam into the Rio chorus jarringly I still like Jer's lines on the ride out there with his holding notes over Keith's play. Wow after listening to this one a 3rd time this outro is just sooo friggin' smooth and pretty -- As I mentioned, I have come to prefer these '72's generally vs the fanning style of the later years. As stated above, this one's hidden gem to my ears as well.

Oh yeah this here is great - a little bit like 8/21/72 which has become one of my faves for it's very special lilting end - I now sort of prefer these with Jerry picking instead of fanning away like he does on later ones -these '72's reflect a lot of interplay between Jer and KG - give'm a spin if you have'nt tasted yet might surprise you.
