Bobby and Keith have a really brilliant exchange in the background here. Great version.

In a show overshadowed by its neighbors, this one stands out for coming together just brilliantly. Show needs more love.

Playin' In The Band

Blisteringly hot group solo from about 4:25 onward, including a Phil episode of pure beautiful berserkness.

Great funk just right in that sweet, rockin' spot. Pig's voice is on, Jerry's on fire, and Keith sounds great.

Tremendous energy and a beautiful jam with a long China Cat jam in the first bit. What the Dead are all about.

Jeez guys, how did five people vote for a song that wasn't even performed at this show?

Not everybody's favorite song, but not the filler it's often dismissed as either. The band plays it hot and fast, and Jerry lovingly dances over it with a thousand-and-one ideas streaming of his guitar with flourish and virtuosity.

Thanks for the tip Grendel. Mr. Charlie earns yet another star for fixing one of the biggest buzzkills of '73. Enough has been said about this show, but daaaaaaaaaaamn if it didn't just get better.
