Real easy Bird Song. Smooth. Delivered. Precise. This DP is far out man. It's a real high note. Set One launches. Set Two is the pace, the momentum. Keeps the buzz. It's electrifying and mind bending. Everything that made '72 a real fluid stepper. That Bird Song solo. Overlooked at times. Don't look, just listen and live the music baby. It's going to make sense. This is where it's at. DPs are never going to disappoint. This is in gear from the beginning baby. Spaced. PITB is frenetic baby, just energy. It's a vibe. That second set man. Rush. Don't sleep on this show. It'll change your life man. X

Everyone has their "birthday show" with the Dead and this is mine - performed 8 years before I was born, that is - and the fact that it comes from Baltimore (near where I grew up) is extra-sweet. This show was released early on as a Dick's Pick, and even though the setlist seems "standard" (which is to say, generously overstuffed) for late '72, looks are deceiving. The major highlight is He's Gone > The Other One > Sing Me Back Home, a second set jam of legendary proportions (TOO is 40 minutes, none wasted)
