Greatest Story Ever Told

Olympia Theater

Sick version. Can see why it made it onto E72 Vol 2.
Tennessee Jed

Olympia Theater

Totally get why they included this in the album; its very crisp and the playing is airtight - a jack of all trades Jed, but imo there are far better versions from this tour. 4/8 and 4/24 specifically spring to mind. Let's face it, its top because it made it onto E72 and its probably the ver. that fans think of first.
He's Gone

This seems to be the first He's Gone where Jerry starts experimenting with the notes, changing the song forever for years to come.
Cumberland Blues

Wembley Empire Pool

Not surprising at all that this was the one to make it on the E72 album.

Seemingly the most underrated DS I've heard, because 38 votes isn't nearly enough. Get's a little creepy, but doesn't regress into noise like other 72 DSs do.
