This song is awesome in '73, and this one is no exception!

They could hardly screw up the "hard" songs in Fall '72, much less EP

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

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

Perhaps being in that neck of the woods contributed to this one being extra sweet...
Looks Like Rain

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

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
