The boys seem to love playing in unanounced, unstructred jams like this. Freedom reminiscent of some '67-69's but with the '73 songlist.

Nashville Municipal Auditorium

Rippin' show opener with Bobby twang sliding and a 2nd Jerry solo taking it up and over the top. Plus its Nashville.

Turns typical 1st set filler into a great jam. One of Keith's best solos of Summer '73.

Cool and fast w/ 12min jam before 1st (and only) verse. At 08:30 Phil goes teases what sounds like Milking the Turkey. Is that possible?

A greasy gritty super-funk sex parade. Wasn't often the Dead sounded this horny after Pigpen died.

I disregarded this show for too many years, and I'm not sure why now, 'cause its got the goods on every number. This Dew owns its votes. Listen and love.

It sounds like Keith has twenty fingers. Killer piano work on this uptempo jumper.

Everything about this set just kicks ass. FreedomHaul said it well.

Hadn't listened to this show on the box set yet, and sweet jeezus this PiTB got a big upgrade. Beg, borrow, or rip the box version and be amazed. Any show that kicks of with this kind of monster is going to be very good indeed. The good just gets better.

The SSDD is over-the top. Total balls-to-the-wall jam.
