Like the night before, a great version from a legendary show that I'm surprised wasn't already here...

Shocked this wasn't here already...gorgeous version from a legendary show, about two weeks before they recorded the studio version.

Strand Lyceum

For a song with less diversity from one version to the next, this one is better than most, and rare coming so late in the show...

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.
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

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
