Burning solid show opener. I keep coming back to this one.

Totally overlooked show, but blazing hot and extraordinary jams. Everything here that make '73 what it is.

Perfect. Sweet harmonies, sweet country pickin'. Good times acoustic.

Mellow accoustic goodness - sweet and evocative. The whole set is 1970 amazingnessiosity at its headiest.

Playing down to their last allowed second, the boys squeeze a tight (top-40 levels) hard rockin' version. Killer end to a great little show.

From the show that just keeps on giving. And endless jam. All the clichés about being "dialed way in" or "just exactly perfect" don't even begin to give this epic jam justice. Outta sight, outta my mind.

Life isn't complete until you've heard this. Remember this? "When I die bury me deep, with a turntable by my feet, lay some speakers up near my head, so I can l listen to the Grateful Dead". This is the one I want spinnin' for me, alright guys?

Went to some shows, and fell into more than one Black Peter trance, but never saw it acoustic like this. I wore this record out, and damn, but this is a perfect execution. Jerry sounds so sweet. Thanks, boys.

Like you some '70 acoustic Dead? Not sure why this didn't make the cut for Bear's Choice or DP4, but goddamned if it isn't a treasure.

Damn near wore out this LP back in the daze. I can't really say anything against this being up at the top... it is absolutely perfect. But I just discovered the Feb. 8 '70 version, which just kills me too, and may be a bit more savage, a bit more 'don't know if I'm gonna kill yeh or not, do yah'. Dig 'em both.
