China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
July 1, 1973
Universal Amphitheatre

Rock-solid China with Jerry twisting and pulling its melodic basis throughout a great solo + great Feeling Groovy trans. into Rider.

Me and My Uncle
July 1, 1973
Universal Amphitheatre

By far the most snarlingly bad-assed version of 1973. Jer's lines it up and shoots it down, soloing intesely throughout the whole song.

Playin' In The Band
July 1, 1973
Universal Amphitheatre

25 minutes of nirvana. Absolutely everything a Playin' fan could look for - with that strange summer '73 blissed-out "intense mellow".

Mellow jam leading to a slow simmert, then boils and finally melts down brilliantly into a pristine Eyes. Why isn't this here yet?

Universal Amphitheatre

Cowboy Bob and the Mexican Maiden at high speed rip-roaring tempos. Great bursting energy.

This one made me go, "oh damn, whoa". Blazingly brilliantly good.

They're just so in love with this song at this point and it shines through.

Nice that the archive version has the whole WRS and Let it Grow as one track. The LIG has a cool little WRS tag at the very end.

Trans out of a killer Truckin'>NFBM Jam is just a beautiful uptempo mandelbrot set of fretboard filigree.

Beautiful transition out of Truckin'.
