Solid grooving version. Jerry's final solo builds up nicely.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Nassau Coliseum

China Cat is a slow, bumpy, and chaotic mess, quickly ended. Follows a beautiful Feeling Groovy and long Rider. Good to see the boys quick recovery!

Very sweet and sorrowful. A beautiful version.

Tighter and a wee bit faster than the previous night's debut, played with more confidence and just exactly perfect.

Sweet version, very tight and mellow groove: Love the 70's outlaw buddy-pic vibe.

He's Gone

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.
Playin' In The Band

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.
