The last of a whopping 73 plays in 1972, and a nice one to finish with...

Perhaps not surprisingly, you can really hear the '73 sound starting to emerge here (and elsewhere in the show)...

Promised Land

Long Beach Arena

Good start to a very overlooked show. This was their most common opener in '72, kicking off 32 shows, this being the last of them (opens S2 on NYE).

Good version sandwiched between HCS and the big jam suite...

Seems like this show needs more love around here...a few high vote-getters, but the whole thing rocks

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
May 18, 1972
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
May 18, 1972
Kongressaal, Deutsches Museum

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

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
