Even though it cuts out after 16mins, a really fine 1972 TOO. Worth 16 minutes of anyones time.

Although only part of set 2 seems to exist, great show. Clean,good energy,starting to get that fall 73 jazziness.

China Doll
Feb. 15, 1973
Dane County Coliseum

Others have pointed out what a stellar show this is and how the D.S>Eyes>China Doll is 45 minutes of sheer Dead heaven. However, I'd just like to say that as a stand alone, this is one of my top 5 China Dolls. Great singing from Jerry and all round playing by all the band
U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)
Feb. 15, 1973
Dane County Coliseum

U.S Blues wasn't played on 2/15/73?Which night did you mean?
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
March 23, 1972
Academy of Music

Some years seem to be the best for some songs and China>Riders from 1972 are it for me.

Hope we all have a hippie New Year. Have fun boys and girls. I'm running up to this New Years eve by playing N.Y.E shows. Plus, can I plug the January 2nd 1972 show(again!)? You won't regret it. Love and Metta CB
