Solid version, with nice work from Keith and some tasty tambourine provided by Pigpen.

Brown Eyed Women

Springfield Civic Center

Acres of deep 1972 swing, anchored by Phil and Billy, well sung by Jerry, and beautifully accented by Keith and Bobby.

Cleveland Public Hall

Heartfelt rendition. The vocal-heavy mix of the 28th really works for this tune.

Me and My Uncle
March 26, 1972
Academy of Music

This Uncle seems to take everyone by surprise, but after a bit of confusion, they deliver a great version. Tight playing, good vocals, and a nice touch of organ from Pig.
Playin' In The Band
March 21, 1972
Academy of Music

Jerry DEMOLISHES the jam in this one. The overall sound and execution isn't great compared to the others from this run, but holy moly, that guitar solo.
Cumberland Blues
March 21, 1972
Academy of Music

Cumberland was cooking at the Academy shows, but I think this might be the best of the run. The intensity of the jam just keeps on building.
China Cat Sunflower

Winterland Arena

Everyone seems to be taken by surprise by this transition. Jerry even forgets to sing the 2nd verse and just does the 3rd one twice.
He Was A Friend of Mine

Capitol Theater

^^^Couldn't have said it better. I can't believe I forgot to write a description of this great track.
