Summary

While this week's Deadpod features a tape that is not complete, and has some cuts, I still believe it is strong enough to feature for this week and next. This show comes to us from Winterland Arena, where the band performed after a short break from touring on December 12, 1972. Unfortunately most of the first set is missing. What we have starts with a great 'Bertha', following that is Garcia at full force during an incendiary 'Playin' In the Band'. This beauty goes on for about 20 minutes of first class Jerry virtuosity. I love this version. While this tape is not the highest quality recording, its worth listening to just for this performance. The band moves into a much more standard Casey Jones to close the first set.

We'll listen to the first part of the second set as well, which opens with a rockin' Promised Land followed by a nice Stella Blue. The China Cat->I Know You Rider opens up very nicely, especially in the transition jam, and leaves us wanting more, which we'll hear next week.

0:07.0	I'm going to go back to the year 1972 this week and bring you a great show. We don't have a complete tape of the show. What we have is

0:29.0	We only have a couple of songs, three songs from the first set, and then we'll hear some part of a
0:36.2	set to this week and the rules to set to next week. This starts out with a Bertha. It is a right away you're thrown into really fine Garcia solo on this song.
0:48.0	Then they go into a plan in the band that's quite extraordinary. It's one of the best of the year. Garcia really goes in extraordinary
0:57.2	places in this one. I think you'll really enjoy it. The band tries to follow at times
1:02.3	it's just impossible. He goes to another plane during this plan in the band. This is really an excellent version.

1:14.4	Set two starts off with a really fine, well-played promise land. Stella Blue was
