Playin' In The Band

Rossevelt Stadium

Hard-driver with intense 10/4 jamming throughout. Phil and Billy give it extra oomph. Great mix with Keith and Jer up front and clear.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
July 18, 1972
Rossevelt Stadium

One of those rare ones where China Cat plods a bit and they move into a blazing hot Rider. Great show all around, too.

Keith plays beautifully on this.

Brown Eyed Women

Like with all Winter '73s the band is in excellent form. Bobby's slashing chords behind Big Jer just make this one an uptempo gem.

Sweet and lovely. Jerry's virtuoso fillagree behind Bobby's smooth-as-smoke vocals just slay me here.

Not only is this version hot, but it's the bust-out too, setting up for all the great Bobby-Donna ones.

Agreed with Ernie5 here, this is a cool little one-off jam, which doesn't seem lost at all. Almost sounds like they were going into something else, but then got into one of the year's best Dancin's.

Dude 420, you are hearing that correctly. It appears the night before too. Check out this cool site on some of the recognisable jams: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2010/01/deads-early-thematic-jams.html

This and the stand alone on two days earlier are just bonkers-good. I love how this one comes way down for tree-skimmingly low-altitude high speed chase.
The Other One

Riverfront Arena

Weak outro though. This show has some soft spots.
