Notes

1. Also released on Europe '72 Volume 2.
2. "Big Boss Man" inexplicably stopped being recorded with less than a minute to go in the song. Also, it appears "Casey Jones" was performed later in the same set, but was not recorded.
3. Previously released on Steppin' Out with the Grateful Dead: England '72.
