Sugar Magnolia

Utica Memorial Auditorium

The sugar's sweet - but the daydream just blows everything else away with joy.

Brokedown Palace

Utica Memorial Auditorium

Musical and sweet with great harmonies. Brilliant show with many great, mellow versions of their '73 setlist.

Playin' In The Band
March 21, 1973
Utica Memorial Auditorium

Exploratory simmering energy. Phil and Jerry co-soloing on a high plane of endless inspiration. Not a barn-burner, but smooth and abstract.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
March 21, 1973
Utica Memorial Auditorium

Snazzy light and tight. China's melody is a traipsing psychadelic counterpoint, a perfect trans into Rider. Good vibes.

The Other One

Nassau Coliseum

Complicated rising and falling arc to the energy, but great jam. Long Truckin>TOO>Eyes in a great 2nd set. Sound quality problems though.

Kresge Plaza - MIT

Brilliant long jam. Very creative and deep in places. Doesn't go into space, but stays right in the pocket.

Duh. Ha! I love that this is here, I love you guys, and I love the Grateful Dead.

Hey Glynparson! If you dig Sept. and Oct. '76 Dancin's (and I know you do) check out October 3rd. That's my current favorite from this sweet spot in the song's history. Enjoy!

I've said in reference to the suite, I think there are several TOOs that stand up to the well-know May 2. But that isn't to say this isn't an outrageous mother of a beast. This outro just slices through you with such precision. Whatta slaughter!
