Perfectly executed arc of mounting emotions in this great version. The band is so tight throughout this show.

Righteous beauty from probably the most seriously overlooked show from '73 (surrounded by the big beasts in Boston) inside a Playin' just soooo good.

Outrageous oversight that this crystal clear beauty isn't here. Bobby's vocals, brilliant ensemble playing, glorious UJB in the sandwich. DIG IT!!!

Great version, yeah its Boston '73. But probably the best Stage Banter ever: Check out 09:49 explaining why they aren't going to play St. Stephen.

Nov. '73 and there isn't a bad show in it. This Loser has something special in its tightness and the tempo (doesn't drag). Damn they were good.

Short but oh-so fine, after the great jam before. Check out how Pigpen sounds he's having a spiritual epiphany on this one.

Going to have to upvote this one. Not only are the Darkness and Stephen jams just hella delicious, but they come out of a superfine AWBYG-outro that just kills me. You can hear how good they felt by the NFA chaos that comes straight after.

Long, exploratory rap and great vibe. This show needs some attention, bigtime.

Deserves a clean-up, bigtime. This, and the Dew are fully epic. It isn't just the energy, which is buried there under the AUD flaws, but the communication between them as they move seamlessly across different landscapes. They're tight and balsy, kicking this one off in a way that deserves a lot more love.

Cgarces: will try to find this, but presently not on the archive and I don't have the DP version. Looking forward to it. Thanks for the tip.
