Completely overlooked UC Davis show that exists only on an aud. But this version smokes.

This version was the only Dead song my father ever said he liked. (His tastes tended toward George Shearing.) That's good enough for me to boost it.

I love the Europe '72 PITBs. Tight, fast, focused, energetic. Every single one.

These mid-'71 H2H's are uniformly excellent. Is this one as good as 8/6? Maybe. And do check out the Youtube video. Looks like they're playing in someone's backyard.
