Spectacular thrashing jam. Jerry has an agressive metal sound that I like to call the "Dangerous Dead" from the era.

For a song notoriously difficult to sing, this one comes of beautifully. June 6th is better, but good to hear them in sequence as the worked on it.

Hard to figure that this isn't here already: sweet acoustic intimacy and a clear '70 AUD that does it for me.

Intimate expression of this song's first, acoustic, right off the LP era. A bit slower, but great vocals and 3-part harmonies.

Pure goodness. Warm AUD, intimate sound. This is the gold.

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.
