Let It Grow
Sept. 15, 1973
Providence Civic Center

Phil's rippling fills. Full horns. At 8:00 a wild turkey (???) starts gobbling next to a mic and Jer responds mid-solo. Weird, chaotic and shredding.

Weather Report Suite
Sept. 15, 1973
Providence Civic Center

Historical oddity. Flute accompanyment to part one and full horn section throughout. Not everyone's cup of tea, but interesting.

Truckin'
Sept. 15, 1973
Providence Civic Center

An oddity. A ballsy Truckin' with full horn section. Weird fun in its odd way from a forgotten show.

This one and the one 3 days earlier are both inventive and experimental - really soaring. Rough AUD though.

Tennessee Jed

1st set suffers from rough AUD, but this Jed soars. Jer rages, building it into a triumph. Headphones only.

Dancin' in the Streets

Kresge Plaza - MIT

Brilliant long jam. Very creative and deep in places. Doesn't go into space, but stays right in the pocket.

Duh. Ha! I love that this is here, I love you guys, and I love the Grateful Dead.

You're welcome GlynP. Check out the little essay at the link I cited above. Good website that one. Peace!

Hey Glynparson! If you dig Sept. and Oct. '76 Dancin's (and I know you do) check out October 3rd. That's my current favorite from this sweet spot in the song's history. Enjoy!

I've said in reference to the suite, I think there are several TOOs that stand up to the well-know May 2. But that isn't to say this isn't an outrageous mother of a beast. This outro just slices through you with such precision. Whatta slaughter!
