phil plays melody all over, jerry plays stoned and succinctly, love his vocal expression, rainbow sunshine stone music, but a very tight version!!!

hot and sweaty blues

That's All Right
1) An awesome bluesy jam vehicle.. 2) When the hell did you ever hear them bust this one out? 3) This is the '73 RFK Show. That should be enough :)

El Paso
You might think it a throw-away song, but they just burn it up so ferociously that you know they took it seriously....

Bird Song
Soaring solid and focused version from one of the top shows of the year.

Jazzy version from a great show

Around and Around
Right between a sweet Here Comes Sunshine and an all-time Dark Star, the boys rip a quick A&A. Nice interplay between Keith and Jer

Wharf Rat
Dark Star> He's Gone > Wharf Rat > Truckin'. RFK 73. A great sequence at, in my opinion, the show of the year

Sugar Magnolia
Solid. Doesn't blast you to the moon necessarily, but a fine display of some summertime jammin' at one of the shows of the year
5
Beat it on Down The Line
Beginning's cut off but it cuts into a mighty fine version.

Drums
Billy and Butch Trucks...towards the end of the longest show of their career!
