Mountain Jam
July 27, 1973
Grand Prix Racecourse

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.

Real nice groove to it throughout. Garcia comes in blazing with that stanky early 80s tone at start of the short jam. Fine one.

Fun cap off to a real good Red Rocks show. Phil sounded so good in the mix this entire show.

Decent one up until the jam, and Garcia comes in guns a blazing! The jam is awesome! Everyone sounds great.

Such a badass tune. This performance is a classic. On point. Love Donna’s vox on “calllinn’ youuuu”

That intro tho. This is a good one. A few weird flubs. Haven't quite nailed it yet, but they were damn close. The sound quality is insane on this show.

Agree with Young Head here. I love Donna, and mostly disagree with those whiny woman hatin' Heads who complain about her, however, this is really special as a Jerry only song. That aside, the band navigates you pristinely through every emotion that this tune is meant to convey. Wonderful performance and easily a favorite Wharf Rat of mine, if not my own #1.

Flanked by a monster of a Dark Star, but this MAMU can hold its own. Killer one here, played about as well as they could play it.
