Inspired playin' -- pun intended
Big River
Sept. 17, 1972
Baltimore Civic Center

this version's got attitude
The Other One
Sept. 3, 1972
Folsom Field, University of Colorado

Some of the best of the "jazzy" dead I've ever heard on this one! Don't skip the bonus on DP 36!
He's Gone
Feb. 19, 1973
International Amphitheatre

Both laid-back and swinging all at the same time... Gorgeous!
Bertha
Feb. 15, 1973
Dane County Coliseum

I believe Bertha should be straight-ahead and fast and this is the most balls-out version I've ever heard. Think it's my fav now!
