It's not the gnarly 15+ minute versions it would be in later years, but there's something special about these early versions. Sweet/joyful sugareeee

4/8/72 and this are tied in my book. This one is very spacey and jazzy, as opposed to it's twin which is very, very, very energetic

Hundred year hall mix isn't very good, jerry is turned way too low and bobby is turned way too high. Listen to the Europe '72 Vol. 9 version for the best mix, this is honestly a best ever version, the jamming around the 8:00-12:00 is absolutely NUTS
