Amazed I get to submit this, especially from such a highly-renowned show. One of the best I've heard!

Very strong encore version at a great, seemingly underrated show.

Curtis Hixon Convention Hall

Last piece of this brilliant show to be submitted. Billy unleashes some wild, tribal bashing to cleanse our palette between DS and Eyes

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Kongressaal, Deutsches Museum

Very nice one indeed. This whole show is overlooked! I think it's the best of the three between Rotterdam and the Lyceum run by a significant margin, which isn't to say that Lille and Luxembourg aren't also very good...
You Win Again

Kongressaal, Deutsches Museum

A tad slower than the other E72 versions, which lends it a nice, mellow vibe. Pig fills this one out nicely.

Memorial Coliseum

Perhaps being in that neck of the woods contributed to this one being extra sweet...
Looks Like Rain
May 17, 1977
Memorial Coliseum

What Jerry is playing starting around the 6:30 mark sounds like rain drops falling...gorgeous version from an all-time great show.
They Love Each Other
May 17, 1977
Memorial Coliseum

TLEO ranks in my top 20 favourite Dead tunes...I usually prefer the fast '73 versions, but I love this slower one! Best night of '77
