The sugar's sweet - but the daydream just blows everything else away with joy.

Musical and sweet with great harmonies. Brilliant show with many great, mellow versions of their '73 setlist.

Playin' In The Band

Utica Memorial Auditorium

Exploratory simmering energy. Phil and Jerry co-soloing on a high plane of endless inspiration. Not a barn-burner, but smooth and abstract.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
March 21, 1973
Utica Memorial Auditorium

Snazzy light and tight. China's melody is a traipsing psychadelic counterpoint, a perfect trans into Rider. Good vibes.

The Other One

Nassau Coliseum

Complicated rising and falling arc to the energy, but great jam. Long Truckin>TOO>Eyes in a great 2nd set. Sound quality problems though.

Haters: Donna can't sing in tune? Really? Listen to this, even if you can't stand the song, and you'll know exactly what she could do with her voice. She always complained that she couldn't hear herself on stage, and knowing she could deliver when featured makes me wonder how many of her more egregious "interventions" could have been better mic'd, mixed, and leveled.

Glorious transition jam into Wharf Rat. It just seems to happen by accident: Everyone is putting together a beautiful inventive jam that doesn't resemble any other Eyes jam I know, then suddenly it's Wharf Rat, perfectly. Have to re-listen to it to hear if there were earlier hints that point to it....

Grendel said exactly what I was going to say here. The Help is just dynamite.

Jaw dropping. I'm flabbergasted, shocked that I haven't heard this before. Top shelf Dead.
