Perfectly executed arc of mounting emotions in this great version. The band is so tight throughout this show.

Righteous beauty from probably the most seriously overlooked show from '73 (surrounded by the big beasts in Boston) inside a Playin' just soooo good.

Outrageous oversight that this crystal clear beauty isn't here. Bobby's vocals, brilliant ensemble playing, glorious UJB in the sandwich. DIG IT!!!

Great version, yeah its Boston '73. But probably the best Stage Banter ever: Check out 09:49 explaining why they aren't going to play St. Stephen.

Nov. '73 and there isn't a bad show in it. This Loser has something special in its tightness and the tempo (doesn't drag). Damn they were good.

Acoustic bliss and the coolest vocal outro out there.

This whole show is filled with killer '70 gems. And Bobby, Jerry and Pig seem like they were all trying to out sing the other. Rare the show with such consistent vocal excellence. And this Candyman just blows me away again and again.

Sweet and short with Bobby sounding great.

Goes pretty far out, but never loses the intense melodicism and rhythmic driving that characterises this great show. A beauty.
