Let It Grow
Sept. 15, 1973
Providence Civic Center

Phil's rippling fills. Full horns. At 8:00 a wild turkey (???) starts gobbling next to a mic and Jer responds mid-solo. Weird, chaotic and shredding.

Historical oddity. Flute accompanyment to part one and full horn section throughout. Not everyone's cup of tea, but interesting.

Truckin'

Providence Civic Center

An oddity. A ballsy Truckin' with full horn section. Weird fun in its odd way from a forgotten show.

This one and the one 3 days earlier are both inventive and experimental - really soaring. Rough AUD though.

1st set suffers from rough AUD, but this Jed soars. Jer rages, building it into a triumph. Headphones only.

Deserves more love. Let It Grow just blasts off and leaves your jaw dropped. Hot hot stuff.

48 minute jam starts with Phil and Ned at their tweekiest. You've been warned, if that isn't your bag. (Not me, though, I dig that electric weirdness - you couldn't squeeze my pupils down to normal size even if you tried....)
Playin' In The Band

Drops you through the wormhole right quick, this one. Not a beginner's 'Playin' by any stretch. (Don't try to convince a Dead skeptic with this big beast, oh no.) Goes in and through and out of many dark places, but the whole show is full of very outré jams and this really sets the tone for a big big show.

There's a whole lotta music in here. Listened to it over and over, still finding new things in there. Outstanding, driven, tight and right.

Goddamned double posts again. Sorry.
