Capitol Theater

20 min. Pig rap-fest; Heavy and fast barnburner, thunderous drums, and nimble bass

Capitol Theater

Three from the Vault version; Tumbling, fiery, madness, Garcia lights this one up; The bus stopped by at the Capitol Theater, did you get on?

Glens Falls Civic Center

Melodic and creative soloing throughout; the transition (">") is absolutely on fire, musical communication between instruments is on point

This is on fire... Trippy and dark show, really good stuff.

Music Hall

This might just be the best ever... Really, this is sick. 1972 is just jam packed with heady versions and this is easily deserving a top ten or maybe top five consideration.
