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.

I mostly don't rat SOFs from any year other than 74,but this one is still as good as they get post break.

Due to Phil no longer being able to sing and trying to reach for the high parts, this absolutely beautiful song tends to get massacred post 72. This,however, is a fairly decent version from a great show.

What was it?Seven new songs all played superbly well. A great show from the early 1973 run of shows.

Is this the first time Jerry sings," Don't you let that deal go down, Children"? Great show.

Yup,this is a song I usually skip, but for some reason stayed listening-glad I did. this whole run at the Academy of music the LLR's are magical. Just love the pedal steel playing.
