Sit back, fire up, and hold on because the show from this day in 1972 is so hot. Don't even think about missing the massive newly found first set, including a monster Playin' and sweet Box and Bird Song. But be sure to stay for the intense and extraordinary Truckin'> Other One> He's Gone> Other One with a heady Philo Stomp in its midst. Listen to it all at Grateful Dead of the Day.
The Dark Star, full of bright and spirited jams, is the absolute high point of the 1971 night. But the Me And Bobby McGee - with Jerry's fervent vocals - that the Dark Star transitions into, Phil's carpet bombing of Jack Straw, the ball of energy that is the Sugar Mags opener, and the all-round playing during this show in Detroit is not to be missed. Head on over and catch it all.
