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

Jerry unleashes an incredible torrent of notes with about a minute to go in this one. Beautiful opening as well.

They play this like a super-swung Ramble On Rose!

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Pauley Pavilion - University of California

In addition to everything already mentioned, Jerry’s vocals on Rider are incredible! Sounding like 1970 at times.
