Greatest Story Ever Told
Sept. 28, 1972
Stanley Theatre

This is better than Veneta, and 1973-05-20 is better than this. EDIT: this has a bit more of an edge to it, as one would expect from the respective dates. I love 1973-05-20 (which also dips into St. Stephen) but this one is my favorite currently (2025)

OK, two things. 1. I think GSET is consistently greater in 1973 than in 1972, despite what most people seem to think. 2. I remember thinking this was even hotter than 1972-09-28, so tonight I listened to them back to back. This is even hotter than 1972-09-28.

Garcia dominates to the extent where I think this should maybe be ranked higher....
