Blow Away
Aug. 27, 1972
Old Renaissance Faire Grounds
First version since the Mother McCree's era. I'm absolutely blown away.

Old Renaissance Faire Grounds
bzfgt, nothing from 1972 merits 2nd best of all time? Beg pardon? Even though this is all subjective, I'll accept any argument that there are at least a dozen songs from 72 that fit that criteria. PITB, Other One, Dark Star, Birdsong, Cumberland, to name a few. Different strokes, I guess. ;^)
Ramble On Rose
Oct. 27, 1990
The Zenith
Yes, yes, pleasantly surprised! Very spirited, with a shining and fun guitar solo.
Wharf Rat
April 25, 1977
Capitol Theater
Arguably the best of the year. Extra shimmer and urgency. The outro is splendid and soaring, as it moves into a sublime jam with a daring Garcia crescendo, before landing flawlessly into the "Main Ten" part of the PITB reprise. Damn, I wish I was there!
