Shocked that this hasn't been listed! Great energy with some decimating lines from Jerry and Bobby is screaming his big ol heart out. Great version.

Jerry and Bobby create a beautiful space before TOO. A conversation in strings. Billy and Mickey create primal, carnivorous music. Hunting music.

What a crown jewel Pretty Peggy O can be. A truly tender version that washes away all my worries. These 74 versions are quite special.

The Dead take the Parisians through a cowboys surrealist day dream. Check out how both Keith and Jerry are utterly locked into the music.

Jerry's tone is particularly haunting this night. This version is dripping with lysergic ooze.

Forgot to mention. INSANE SOLO!!!!!!!
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Nov. 13, 1972
Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Hall

I feel like I'm right there. Phil's bass just explodes during the main China Cat riff and at that moment you feel the intensity and power of the Grateful Dead. During the transition, things absolutely take off as you crash and bounce into deep sonic realms. It's alive!!!!!!!!!
