Playin' In The Band
Nov. 24, 1972
Dallas Memorial Auditorium

Wow, seemingly a very overlooked gem. Tension and release, weaving effortlessly from mellow jam segments to soaring peaks, without screechy breakdown

You Win Again
April 26, 1972
Jahrhunderthalle

Moseying version. Jerry lays down buttery licks and Keith rides some nice fills. Zippidy doo dah tuning jam to follow

Saint of Circumstance

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

Great Saint, though the goods are in the MLB > Dear Prudence jam that follows. I can only imagine the level of blue balls in the house for that tease

Boston Garden

I always liked this version. The boys gel together nicely for a peaky crescendo

Freight train of energy

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Aug. 27, 1972
Old Renaissance Faire Grounds

Ok, one of the two most glorified shows of all time (you can guess the other), and for good reason. Kicking China with a hot, bouncy jam, seamless IKYR transition. Powerful version - another jewel in the crown of a timeless show. Haven't spun in a while, glad i revisited
Might As Well

Evans Field House, Northern Illinois University

Boys came out the gate like a rabid dog. Jerry sounds like he is going to jump off the stage. Great energy
Eyes Of The World

The Omni

Wow, first time hearing this. Very sick version! Great band interplay

Holy shit, was about to add this one! Not my favorite song, but they do a nice job with this. Gets my vote
