This a JGB version. This one always gets me emotional. One of the best R&Cs ever performed. Jerry’s voice!

Great version. Love Jerry’s MIDI effects on this, and Bruce and Vince kill it. Great video of the show from Shakedown Stream.

Great version, but the version on Europe ‘72 is much better
Good Lovin'
May 3, 1972
Olympia Theater

This is a great Good Lovin’, definitely different from other Europe ‘72 versions. About halfway through, it starts to get spacey, with Phil and Pigpen playing around and having fun. Phil seemingly wants to get back to the main theme throughout the jam, but no one else is having it, until Phil finally coaxes everyone back down to Earth, and it explodes! Great version!
Dark Star

Giants Stadium

The Dark Star teases alone makes this a favorite show. Hornsby flirts with DS the entire show, but can’t quite score a date, though the attempts are well made, especially with Weir, Garcia, and everyone else’s help. Great show!
Chinatown Shuffle

Olympia Theater

Keith’s solo is amazing on this version. Never paid too much attention to this song; what was I thinking!? Great show also
He's Gone

Uptown Theater

This one might be my favorite. Jerry’s sweet vocals mixed with impeccable solos make this one incredible. The outro jam is very good as well, segueing into a spacey version of The Other One. Great version
