This is The Dead at peak performance level. Cataclysmic version. Everyone is ON. Explorative and not a beat missed. Easily top 5 of 69.

Nice early electric version. Always preferred this key for Dire Wolf compared to when they changed it in the later years. Just right. Nice version.

Takes you right to Chicago. Jerry’s playing emulates the blues greats. Hard rocking version that reminds me of a Junior Wells cut. Highly recommend.

Haunting organ playing. Crystalline and psychedelic early version that feels very spacey. Great vocal delivery.

Very nice solo from Jerry. Phil is all over this as well, some great melodic bass playing that compliments the song very well.

Jerry is breathing fire and the band is fueling that fire. A truly rare and powerful performance. Stop whatever you’re doing and go listen, there are really no words to describe the utter beauty and ferocity in this performance. Truly an all timer version of this song. 79 man

Great version

16:07 Jerry teases “Tequila” This alone makes this the best Good Lovin ever played. All jokes(not joking)aside, for 20 minutes of full on bluesy jammy psychedelia it doesn’t feel bloated at all. Flows very nicely and feels very organic, near the end jerry just blossoms and completely obliterates everyone in his path. Feels like an Acid Test, and honestly the earlier part of the jams genuinely reminded me of the late great Ray Charles. Check out Billy doing some classic RnB fills near the 3 minute mark. They don’t lose any footing here and this is one of the finest of Europe 72

Shockingly underrated, granted in a tour where the Dark Stars and The Other Ones are the main attraction, it’s hard choosing just one to focus on. While this may not be the absolute “best” of the tour, that by no means that it lacks anything. It’s just a different shade of many monochromatic hues that dark star has to offer. I love how exploratory this gets and the proto “Let it Grow” Jam later on during the song. My personal go to’s are 5/4(my personal favorite ever), 4/24, and of course 4/8, but this one really is no slouch. I love the more unique dark stars that typically stray away from the main theme the song presents. That’s why I adore many of the 72 Dark Stars because they can be whatever they want at any moment. This an another example of that.

Underrated show!! Absolutely groovin Cumberland that doesn’t overstay it’s welcome at all, at times very mellow and overall just a nice flowing jazzy country jam over here, lovey keyboard work from keith
