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.

The Dead were many things to many people and here they are a shit hot Blues band, Pigpen wailing and blowing some of his most anguished blues ever. This whole show is a bit overlooked.
