China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
July 1, 1973
Universal Amphitheatre

Rock-solid China with Jerry twisting and pulling its melodic basis throughout a great solo + great Feeling Groovy trans. into Rider.

Me and My Uncle
July 1, 1973
Universal Amphitheatre

By far the most snarlingly bad-assed version of 1973. Jer's lines it up and shoots it down, soloing intesely throughout the whole song.

Playin' In The Band
July 1, 1973
Universal Amphitheatre

25 minutes of nirvana. Absolutely everything a Playin' fan could look for - with that strange summer '73 blissed-out "intense mellow".

Universal Amphitheatre

Mellow jam leading to a slow simmert, then boils and finally melts down brilliantly into a pristine Eyes. Why isn't this here yet?

Universal Amphitheatre

Cowboy Bob and the Mexican Maiden at high speed rip-roaring tempos. Great bursting energy.

Wonderful theme and variation in that build up.
Dancin' in the Streets

Family Dog at the Great Highway

One of the most under-rated songs on their Great Jam Vehicles list. Seems like they were always innovating with it. I love how they start tweaking the tempo several times - a sure sign they were just itching to take things furthur out with it.

The Auditorium

Love the rare acoustic MAMUs.
Caution

Fillmore East

The Feedback after is perfectly symphonic. I'm never sure where to vote for Feedback, as it doesn't really fit in "Space" and it was certainly it's own section after different jams in '68-'71. Ideas?
