One More Saturday Night
Rocks pretty hard, but what really steals the show is Bobby lettin' loose and tearin' up some vocal cords

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Uber TIGHT. Under the radar too, spin this one for sure if you haven't you won't regret it!
7
Me and Bobby McGee
Sweet and lovely. Jerry's virtuoso fillagree behind Bobby's smooth-as-smoke vocals just slay me here.
6
Brown Eyed Women
Like with all Winter '73s the band is in excellent form. Bobby's slashing chords behind Big Jer just make this one an uptempo gem.
9
Nobody's Fault But Mine
Fully jammed out vocal version in underrated jam from late '73...probably the peak period for NFBM...

Take A Step Back
One of the earliest versions of America's favorite fun game: Go Back to Your Seats. Happens before Around & Around.
6
Ramble On Rose
A very tight version with great Phil bombs and Jerry solo. This show slips under the radar. Don't miss it.

Sugaree
As a queen sits down, knowing that a chair will be there,/ Or a general raises his hand and is given the field-glasses
5
Around and Around
Duke University Craziness - after a legendary "clear the fire aisles" speech, the band breaks into a powerfully manic version of this romp. Exciting!
6
Big River
Are you kidding, not even listed yet?! This is the second best version ever, after 1973-07-01

Truckin'
Great version from an amazing tour. They had to play two Jer ballads to get everyone calmed down after the jam.
