Top notch version. Builds and builds and builds.

Unique version from an excellent show. Has a different groove to it from other JSs from the era. Several listens and it still stands out.

Tight and groovy - doesn't drag ass at all. Great show in all directions.

Beautiful. One of those rare gems where the Rider seems altogether tighter than the China Cat. What more can a head want?

Super mellow and smooth, understated grace - like the rest of the first set here - and one cool '73 beauty of a transition to Rider. Overlooked!

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.
