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".

Dark Star

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

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

Not the psychedelic exploration of death and dying BP can be, but a smooth low-boil groove with great soul.
Cumberland Blues

Universal Amphitheatre

"Cumberland Polka". Just simply amazing.
Bird Song
June 30, 1973
Universal Amphitheatre

Fragile like a little bird, then soaring. A beautiful jewel.
Looks Like Rain

Universal Amphitheatre

Typically a FFW moment for me (go tape!) but this one held my attention and gets a star. Bobby's on!
They Love Each Other

Universal Amphitheatre

Matrix version not so bad either.
