They Love Each Other

This song gets better and better during the Spring '73 tour. Here it grooves with so much butt in it, just try to sit still.

Triumphant and building, reaches one peak after another. Beautifully harmonised.

So fine. Jer and Keith are so playful and so fast, Bobby's on.

Nice banging and clanging solos here and a damned fine backwoods country vibe to this whole first set.

Great high-energy show opener. 30-31 March '73 often overlooked. Give a listen and you wont regret it.

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.
