Playin' In The Band

Hard-driver with intense 10/4 jamming throughout. Phil and Billy give it extra oomph. Great mix with Keith and Jer up front and clear.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
July 18, 1972
Rossevelt Stadium

One of those rare ones where China Cat plods a bit and they move into a blazing hot Rider. Great show all around, too.

Keith plays beautifully on this.

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.

Sweet and lovely. Jerry's virtuoso fillagree behind Bobby's smooth-as-smoke vocals just slay me here.

Stand-alone is right. The outro is like few other, and the good-times feeling gets almost religious.

Hey Jack_a_Straw, we're both diggin' DP 28 today? Fuck yeah, brother, Feb. '73 is one month full of top-shelf Dead. These are just glorious shows, eh? Peace. Plus this version kicks serious butt. Deserves a much higher rating.

GSET is a great vehicle for Jerry's most shreddingly headiest speedjamming. This one goes the distance. Should be even higher.

Takes a lot for a Big River to raise an extra eyebrow, but this one has it. Check out Keith's work throughout. He's freakin' brilliant, and yep, Jerry's on fire. This is track 11 on Disc 1 for DP 28. Definitely the 26th, not the 28th.

Beyond description. '73 is full of great and deep Playin's and this one kicks off beautifully. The only reason it's so low is because there isn't any streaming available for it - not a question of love at all, cause it's really all that.... I finally picked up DP 28 and holy fuckballs, this one is a mindbender.
