A wonderful Jerry/Phil duet on this one. Not quite the legend of Veneta, but still very strong in its own right.

Excellent jams. Mix/sound is off, but this is still a must hear version!

Very lyrical and melodic playing by Jerry. A pretty unique version, one of my favorites.

Awesome flowing buildups and peaks during the first jam especially. A bit under the radar, but definitely one of the best of 1972!!!

Parc des Expositions

Sweet fusion-style Caution jam with major hints of MLB. Builds to a fiery Garcia climax!!

Yes! One of the great lesser-known versions from '72.

Wow this one really moved up! Nice to see it near the top where it deserves to be :)

Great pre verse jams on this one...very jazzy. The post verse tiger/space gets pretty nuts.

Amazing, the post verse jams are some of the wildest and trippiest of all time...Keith and Jerry wail!!!

A beautiful, jazzy, and mellow rendition with a nice unique intro by Jerry. Love how fresh they kept this song in this era.
