Raw and raucous, this one packs quite a wallop for its size.

A mellow version featuring a rather unique outro portion for ’73. Truckin’>Eyes>Stella

Hartford Civic Center

One of those ‘I can’t believe it’s not here yet’s. This thing was forged from hot iron.

The satisfying conclusion of a good sequence. A sibling of 11/13/72.

Bobby is pretty good on this one. It's right after 'Promised Land'.

I've been wondering the same thing of late, CarrionCrow. I've wanted to post the feedback from the 12/12/69 for a long time as that one is a nice piece of spontaneous composition.

Fantastic stuff. A great sequence. Is it my favorite? Don't know. But does it deliver the goods? Big time.

More interesting and fun and so just plain better than any I've heard from '72.

Preposterously underrated.
Uncle John's Band

I remarked to myself when I first heard this on the Dave's Pick. After more listens, it is now one of those 'Uncle John's Band's that I think of when I think of my favorite 'Uncle John's Band's. Wraps the deep, primal ethos of the tune in a warmth and exploration and obvious good cheer that is less to be had on many other versions.
