Pure mad mental, as we used to say in Scotland. WOW, they really just let rip. Good track to dance to if you need to work of some high energy

One of the best,though May 25th -the only other performance in Europe 72 is almost as good. I just love this song. Thanks Jerry.

Europe '72 the shows that just keep on giving. Here I am, 44 years later listening to these shows-the quality of playing, consistently through the whole 3 hours+ of each show, night after night........WOW! One night DS, next night TOO on and on through the rest of 1972 with hardly a poor show in all that time. God bless the good old Grateful Dead. CBTGx

And they come out of it into Deal! Is that the only time? anyone know of any other times? Looking over the 1971 DS's and what they come out into-Me and My Uncle,Casey Jones,One More saturday Night...why is anyone surprised at El Paso?(see comments for DS 27.8.72)
