Playin' In The Band
Stealth Show. Blazing Playin' - hot and fast, no summertime mellow here folks. Under the radar massive Dead.
4
Ramble On Rose
Crowd pumped up for this 1st set opener. Juiced and tight. Starts one hell of show.
6
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Long fast and beautiful China jam to open 2nd set. Forgotten show? Check it out, heads, you won't regret it.
4
Bertha
Just a full-on rocking get-up-and-jump version. Keith's blazes here.
3
Black Peter
Stunningly good. Mysterious. My favourite - for now!
5
Loose Lucy
The boys experimented with Lucy till they dropped her and this here's a gritty gutbucket blues version. Essential '73 for you Lucy chasers out there.
2
Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad
Jumping version capping off a blazingly great show. With a nice mellow outro, too. The crowd and the boys just seem so full of joy and love.
3
Greatest Story Ever Told
This one is sufficiently hot. After a nice Bertha, too

Don't Ease Me In

Jerry's cooking right before he turns 31.

They Love Each Other
Not a bad version the whole year

Mexicali Blues
Definitely a top tier rendition.

Characteristically solid
