65
Bird Song
19 minute masterpiece. Jerry is speaking to Janice in the heavens. Simply beautiful!
5
Big River
Turns typical 1st set filler into a great jam. One of Keith's best solos of Summer '73.
6
Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo
The boys seem to love playing in unanounced, unstructred jams like this. Freedom reminiscent of some '67-69's but with the '73 songlist.
22
Fire On The Mountain
Embryonic "Fire" in the "soundcheck jam" into Wharf Rat. Not a full FTM, but of amazing Deadfulness and not listed elsewhere. Check it out!
16
Wharf Rat
Jam->Wharf Rat. This is perfection.
5
Tennessee Jed
Keith with those flourishes
5
Sugaree
Early Sugaree
1
Mexicali Blues
Slower almost funky version.
1
Me and My Uncle
Delightful Me & My Uncle before the famous Watkins Glen soundcheck jam.
2
Mountain Jam
Not sure what constitutes a "Mountain Jam" but this is a jam in the mountain and it's fantastic stuff. Garcia soars w/ that '73 tone, Lesh is on fire.
