Played with a pace - the entire band locks in for Jerry’s sky ladder climb.

Oh this one is so loosely tight. Newly debuted and deserving of attention - delicious.

No high peaks but JG's playing is just fluttering in the wind.

Bobby with that ropey rhythm while Phil is tightly tiptoeing for Jerry to deliver a slicing lead. Ooooof. Boys are hot tonight.

You’re right this one’s SPECIAL. Love Weir’s rhythm and filigree work here and Jerry carves a blistering solo for the ages then a BRUTAL CUT- separation on recording is beautiful for phones and requires heavy study of this whole show. Not sure how I’ve missed the depths of this show - Nov ‘72 is easily one of my all time favorite months in this band’s history.

One of the best Cassidy jams no one’s heard- whole band catches the groove and Jerry goes on a bender and stretches this one ouuuuuuuuuut.
