Great interplay and hot jam in every combination in the birth month of the great quintet. Forgotten show.

Not my favorite song, but this one rocks. Plus Jerry eviscerates a heckler after.

Goddamned hard crunching rocker here. Jerry's guitar is so sharp it sounds like breaking glass (in a good way).

Playin' In The Band

They really push down on the 10/4 melodic form here, giving it a "The Main Ten" feel lost soon after. KG's 1st month is full of transition Playin's.

The Other One

Allen Theatre

Masterpiece. The Jam out of drums into the first verse is inventive and exploratory, very subtle interplay. Totally overlooked. Dig it.

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.
