Excellent version highlighted by a very jittery Billy with lots of ghost notes on the snare! Slightly botched ending, but otherwise great...

Billy really steals the show on this one...tosses in a variety of grooves, all to great success.

Great, tight show opener kicking off the '72 run on the new box! Has a bit of that 'Cornell inertia,' as I like to call it...

Great version in the right part of the country for it! Keith teases the "Marines' Hymn" before they start...oorah! Man, I love '72...

Fiery encore to wrap up this fantastic Fall '72 show!

Perhaps being in that neck of the woods contributed to this one being extra sweet...

What Jerry is playing starting around the 6:30 mark sounds like rain drops falling...gorgeous version from an all-time great show.

TLEO ranks in my top 20 favourite Dead tunes...I usually prefer the fast '73 versions, but I love this slower one! Best night of '77

I'll help you out, cgarces! This version is hot, as is the whole show, which is my favourite of '77 as well. I share your praise for 2/13/70 and 5/11/72 as well!

A ferocious entry indeed!
