The rockin' opener to a really GREAT 1972 show-wish this show could get a formal Dead release.

High energy end to 1st set of a show which starts slow then just gets better and better

Black Peter

Fillmore East

It's actually played twice-an electric version in set 1 which is also very heady. But the second version, ....well what can I say. This song is one of my faves and I adore these 197 acoustic versions. slow and hypnotic. Quick, go run and see!

Tender and well sung and well played-a must for Black Peter. Best of 1974? Possibly. I think that the amazing Eyes and that huge 2nd set jam mean that a lot of the other songs get overlooked. However, every one is really well played. This is one of those Stellar GD nights.

An excellent version, deserves to be much higher. Listen out for Keith, some tasty playing.This is one of those shows where every song, even the ballads and the cowboy tunes are excellent.
U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)

Roosevelt Stadium

After 3 1/2 hours of the very best of 1974 Dead we encore with this excellent version of US Blues. Rock and Roll Jerry.

much better than the later versions as Jerry is still in good voice in 77
