U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)

Winterland Arena

An overlooked version because of the famous movie version from the 19th October, but good and on the money.

William and Mary College Hall

They really groove on the outro vocals-no shrieking,just driving on and on. Not at the top but a VG 78 version

Brilliant quality aud recording from Glassberg. https://archive.org/details/gd1977-05-03.aud.glassberg.motb.0042.86241.flac16 Give the whole show a whirl, even by May '77 standards it's good.
Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad

San Antonio Civic Auditorium

Probably because the SQ of this show is poor up until Jack Straw means many people probably just miss out. This starts just '72 good like any of the above shows then Jerry goes shredding mad!!! Also listen out for the Dark Star from this show-also V.G

Thing is Phil's voice was always a bit dodgy,and after 1973 isn't up to it. Maybe they should have let Jerry and Donna sing it.
He's Gone
March 26, 1973
Baltimore Civic Center

After looking down this list, I went to this show and started at the beginning. Wow,what a good He's Gone, but what a good show all in all. A Candyman(rare for 73, Jerry flubbs the lyrics but makes up for it. Great show.
He's Gone
Sept. 26, 1972
Stanley Theatre

this gets played each of the three nights of this mini run. All are stellar. 1972 is such a fine year for the Dead and this song. I can't pick the best 3 from the September run of shows let alone from the whole year. My brain hurts again.........
