Real sweet show, love the set list,and Jerry’s guitar work is right there. Some jazzy,blues,runs thru the major jams makes this show very enjoyable. Although I’m partial to earlier Dead years, this show shines bright.Years end of every year seems to ignite the band,check out Nov.,and Dec., of 1971,Pigpen adds major flavor to their sound, I saw him 3 times, and it was a treat.

The sound quality on this is out of this world. Great show and very, very listenable. As always, my thanks to Mr. Miller and company.

This was my first Dead show - WOW! getting to see the house band in their home at Winterland . Freshman at UCSB, came home to the Bay Area for Christmas break, and a friend "get new years tickets to see the Dead". My stepmom couldn't get NY tickets, but she scored these and I took my friend. Borrowed a car, drove to the gig, got my skull blasted pretty good, floated out of the show at 1:30AM and found the we had a flat tire with no trunk key! Slept in the car that night, AA fixed the tire in the morning and we drove home over the Bay Bridge to the sunrise.

Arguably the better (best) show of the run. While I'm partial to 12/27, it certainly boasts the best jam sequence of the four with the Estimated->Eyes->St. Stephen->Sugar Magnolia (highlighted on disc 3).
