1st Set

2nd Set

3rd show in Jersey City in two months after two one-offs, in nearby Roosevelt Stadium, and the start of a 3-day run. This show is known for having a spectacular He's Gone. Though elsewhere it's an average show (especially for Sep72), it has the unfortunate position of being between two all-time greats, 9/17 & 9/27 (let alone 9/21 & 9/28), so unless you're a total '72 freak you'll want to absorb those shows first. The next night is one of the best ever, and re-uses 14 songs - all of which, except for Casey Jones, are played better. Some lists show that the 2nd set opened with Bertha, but AUD-patched sources (there's a composite that circs) don't have it, so if it's neither on the AUD nor the SBDs, do we know for sure? Maybe Brontis will come back and cough up the master gen AUD.First Set. The building lifts off at, a warm-up for a remarkable. Though some of it is out of tune, the end jam is incredible. The next night's is as-great, but this is a bit different. They just really had this one, in Fall '72.is the equal of the next night - just as crazy. Even an out-of-tune Jer doesn't diminish the wizardry of. The rest of the set is average '72 and gets pretty downtempo aboutSecond Set. Ato start but yeesh, they can't stay in tune this night. Still, it soon takes off and becomes a monster jam. This is the last-ever. It's interesting that peoplethat Pig was sick - a "Get Well" banner was hung from the balcony. If you're a musician, the out-of-tune guitars forwill be a deal-breaker.

The Other One-ish starts @21:36, not by a Phil rumble but by Jer, who doesn't ever gain a complete collusion. Instead, it devolves to a unique Phil jam. A big journey worth taking at least once.is only the 2nd of '72, but the last 'til '74. Very briefly, Bobby vamps a tuning ofsans lyrics, picking up Phil, then Billy, Keith & Jer - though it's enough for the trainspotters to spot their pants. The Hawaiian-influenced once-standard (by the Four Preps) references the knots to Catalina.leaves 'em happy.: C+: COverall = 3 StarsHighlights:Me & My Uncle - many good ones in '72, but stillHe's Gone - end jam incredibleMexicali Blues - crazy-goodDeal - even an out-of-tune Jer can't tampRun:9/26/72 - C9/27/72 - A+9/28/72 - B+SOURCES: The SBDs all have about the same quality. The weir.19198 has all of the composite that circs (the other SBDs have a few cuts) except for a cut in Cumberland and an edited (by 7min) version of Truckin'>Other One Jam. The complete versions of those are on the powell-ladner.25281 patch.
