Subtle(!) melodic inventiveness, slow boil for 27 minutes, nice channel separation between Bob and Jerry, Phil solo. A forgotten Dark Star.

Very hot energy and great soloing, plus it goes into an epic Dark Star. Forgotten concert: But the boys hotted this one up big time.

Short and sweet with lots of character. This show has mix / sound issues, but is quite worth the listen.

Listen past some sound quality problems for a sweet, thoughtful version - especially the outro.

The boys ripped out some shit-kickin' high energy shredding on this one.

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.
