This is a good show for the time and while there are better from '72, I find this one to be a good listen. This show starts with an energetic Bertha followed by a nice Me And My Uncle. The Sugaree has some cool soloing from Jerry and Beat It On Down The LIne is fun. Bird Song has a good but not great jam in it. Jack Straw is good and is followed by the first Friend Of The Devil in nearly two years. Black-Throated Wind is always a highlight of shows from '72-'74. Cumberland Blues features some hot playing and El Paso is quite good. Playing In The Band is very good but like the rest of this show, it isn't the best from this period.
Promised Land, Brown-Eyed Women and Me And Bobby McGee are pretty good. One of the highlights of the show is the jam of Truckin'->Drums->The Other One->Stella Blue. The Truckin' is played with fire with The Other One travels the solar system at warp 9 only to give way to a pretty and early Stella Blue. Sugar Magnolia is high energy as is the show ending Casey Jones->One More Saturday Night.
