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

Chinatown Shuffle

Musikhalle

All about Keith's fine piano work. Possibly the best in contention with 14/4/72
Bird Song
Aug. 12, 1972
Sacramento Memorial Auditorium

The Bird Songs from this show , the nights at Berkeley through to Veneta, each one a priceless gem. They need more listening and I'm sure more of you would upvote these shows

First ever. Love this and the following night. When Jerry sang so sweet.
Truckin'

The JAM is pure sweet jammy goodness. Lovely slide work. An all round good Truckin'.
Looks Like Rain

Winterland Arena

I often skip this song, but as I was downloading the show, gave it a listen. This is a very lovely version. What I like about this whole show is the 1976 quality vocals of Bobby and Donna- staying within their range, not screeching. Go check out the Sugar mag from this show.
