Grimy, gritty dark night of the soul 'styled WF. This hits just right with all the rusty, jagged edges. Check out Spring tour for more.

Still love this version with Bobby channeling Dylan’s vocal delivery and then becoming more and more unhinged as the band blasts away. Go Bobby Go!

Bobby with that ropey rhythm while Phil is tightly tiptoeing for Jerry to deliver a slicing lead. Ooooof. Boys are hot tonight.

You’re right this one’s SPECIAL. Love Weir’s rhythm and filigree work here and Jerry carves a blistering solo for the ages then a BRUTAL CUT- separation on recording is beautiful for phones and requires heavy study of this whole show. Not sure how I’ve missed the depths of this show - Nov ‘72 is easily one of my all time favorite months in this band’s history.
