Best first listen: August 27, 1972 · Old Renaissance Faire Grounds · Veneta, OR, US
Veneta feels sunstruck, loose, and mythic without losing musical clarity. It is a gateway show because the setting is famous, but the jams still hold up under close listening.
Another strong choice: July 28, 1973 · Grand Prix Racecourse · Watkins Glen, NY, US
This long Watkins Glen show gives you three sets of 1973 Dead, from Here Comes Sunshine and Playing In The Band to China Cat Sunflower > I Know You Rider and Eyes Of The World. The late finish brings in the Allman Brothers and The Band on Not Fade Away, Mountain Jam, and Johnny B. Goode.
Another strong choice: December 31, 1972 · Winterland · San Francisco, CA, US
First catalog performance: April 5, 1971 · Manhattan Center · New York, NY, US
Last catalog performance: September 26, 1973 · Buffalo Memorial Auditorium · Buffalo, NY, US
