Hard-swingin' version with lots of oomph behind it. Sweet show.

A dynamite set opener, worth the ride in spite of some rough aud/soundboard patches.

Phil in good form, high energy and an epic 1st set. A must for '73 fans.

More hard rockin' than others in the tour. Stretches out a bit more too, though rough in places has great energy.

Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad

Okay, so this transition jam is pure inspiration. One of those moments where instead of just doing it once again, our boys dig deeper - on GDTRFB, which they could do in their sleep. Heroic musicianship here folks.

Not sure why they only released the 2nd set in DP2, but in any case this Dark Star/Tighten Up is out of this world. The groove is so solid and strong, the melodicism in top form, and it just flows beautifully.
The Other One

That ruptured bit of spacetime is certainly part of The Other One by my lights. This is the kind of life-changer live that I can hardly imagine/remember today. Goddamn, they were right for the world.
Nobody's Fault But Mine

One of my favorite all-time off-the-radar" shows. So much great music in '73, it's hard to call this show "underrated", but it never seems get the love. Santa Barbara was a tiny little hippy town with some seriously uptight security at UCSB in the early 70s, so this one (and the more famous Hell's Angel show in '74) must have really blew some minds.

Can't disagree. This one has what you're looking for. Call me crazy, but I prefer the old-fashioned AUD, warts and all, that has the whole show, over Dick's Picks.
