First Half Step of '73 and they get it perfect. A hidden gem in an often-overlooked show.

From a show lost between the great greats of Feb. '73, this song shines brightly. Great for Row Jimmy fans.

Seemless out of a perfect Here Comes Sunshine. Epic flow, up-tempo, great sounding and flawless jams. What more can a Head need?

A sweet, crystal clear version (3rd performance ever). Beautiful Bobby behind Jer's strong vocal, even Donna's great. Unfortunate cut around 6:00.

Just beautiful 2nd set opener. This show doesn't get the attention it deserves! Solid jamming.

Pig's line "and after all that" coming out of a fast paced chase through the jam-a-thon is pretty funny too. This is a big barn-burning number, and could really stand a good cleanup so that the audiophobes can listen to it without fear. Really, heads, this is under-rated, and should be much higher.

Clearly one of the most inspired and radically jammed versions with fantastic power. Does anyone else hear in Jerry's solo musical references to traded solos on "The End" off of Abbey Road? In any case, it's blasting and oh-so-good.

Or a bone in its nose. There's some deep darkness to it, and it grooves beautifully.

Performed as a ballad. A beautiful different interpretation. Lovely warm guitar sound in spite of the B-quality AUD that's suffered a touch of damage.

Should definitely go higher on the list. The '76s are all just so good, but this one has special tightness to it - and a great Betty Board.
