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.

Weather Report Suite

Providence Civic Center

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

Truckin'
Sept. 15, 1973
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.

Here Comes Sunshine

Much more spacious (not Space though - no inter-galactic rocket ride here) with a relaxed and airy vibe, like a mellow walk in an open field. Nice version.
Eyes Of The World

Pauley Pavilion - University of California

Sure does: Nothing at all disposable in this 2nd set. In 100 years people will still point to this as a perfect example of what the Dead could do.

Come for the Playin'>UJB>Dew>UJB>Playin' sandwich... stay for the beautiful and hot stella dessert. Love the high-energy, high harmonies.
Playin' In The Band

Old Renaissance Faire Grounds

I keep coming back to this one and finding new things in it. Deserves its place at the top of the heap.

Man. That's really a beautiful one. I know, it's Veneta, but there are reasons why it's so popular.
