The boys seem to love playing in unanounced, unstructred jams like this. Freedom reminiscent of some '67-69's but with the '73 songlist.

Rippin' show opener with Bobby twang sliding and a 2nd Jerry solo taking it up and over the top. Plus its Nashville.

Turns typical 1st set filler into a great jam. One of Keith's best solos of Summer '73.

Cool and fast w/ 12min jam before 1st (and only) verse. At 08:30 Phil goes teases what sounds like Milking the Turkey. Is that possible?

A greasy gritty super-funk sex parade. Wasn't often the Dead sounded this horny after Pigpen died.

By ambivalence I mean Jerry's well known hesitation to bust out and rearrange Stephen again post-Godchauxs. As iconic as it is, Stephen was notable for its absence as much as for its presence in my experience as a head throughout my time on the bus.

One of the beastliest, most rockingest versions from this special transitional era between the psychedelic primal dead INTO the country, before the jamathon Dead we love from 72-74. 70-71 are special times and this doesn't disappoint.

Soldier '15 in full spirit, but not in flesh. Wish I could be there guys, oh how I do. Enjoy it, tape it, share it, love it, live it...

Modern Head, I've been going chronologically through 1970 lately, and discovering some amazing stuff, and also rediscovering the sometimes pleasures of certain AUDs over cleaner SNB. Typically I take one calendar year to listen to in order, while dipping in and out of other shows as the mood strikes, and depending on the credibility of whomever recommends it... O_o indeed. '70 is quite special all told tho. You'll always know where to find me!
