Loose Lucy

Sing Me Back Home
Gives me chills, something about how Garcia sings this one is mesmorizing. Hair raising solo after the second verse too.

Playin' In The Band
Decent soundboard, good version.

Deal
They end up running through the “solo” section twice. Both times are as hot as you would expect for ’73.

He's Gone
Don't let sound quality issues prevent you from hearing this. As fresh and crisp as any of the other fine He's Gones from spring and summer.

Jack Straw
Finishes strong
