After 35 plus years of listening to the Grateful Dead, I have come to the conclusion that 1972 was their purest for of "jam band". Even with the moaning of Donna.
There is just something about this era I do love.
I started listening to them in the spring of 79 and did not see them till 9-11-82.
Just my opinion.

I go back and forth as to whether 72 or 73 was the best. 72 had the power, but 73 was sometimes zen-like in its perfection.
Usually 73 wins.

I prefer '72 over '73 because of the rawer tone and Keith is on fire. I appreciate the Wall of Sound as a technical achievement but I never particularly cared for the tone it produced. My first GD album was Europe '72 so I have a natural bias for that era but the lengthy jams and wild improvisation of that year, plus the fact that Pig Pen was still active, give it the edge for me.

One thing that’s stands out
One thing that’s stands out for 1972 is Bill Kreutzman was an absolute beast on the drums that year. Stronger than 73-74.

Worked my first Dead show in
Worked my first Dead show in Sacramento in '72 as a gofer for the IATSE. Very fun time, but busy job, so I barely remember most of it, except for a couple of down times when I was able to sit on Jerry's amp case, at his invitation, to watch some of the show. Phil gave me my first Heineken backstage before the show started. Ah, to be 17 again!

i agree^^-the dark star/other
i agree^^-the dark star/other one/playin' from europe are unmatched tho. i always go back n forth from 72/73 being my favorite dead-hard to shake that liquid jerry in 1973 tho. i think they were just as exceptional, and the additional tunes from wake of the flood that they didnt play in 72 just added to their first and second set performances.
