Playin' In The Band
March 15, 1973
Nassau Coliseum

Long and adventurous and moody (24+ min). First concert after Pig died. You can hear their sadness in places.

Eyes Of The World
Feb. 28, 1973
Salt Palace

Soaring and majestic. Melodic soloing and tight group work. Unfortunately incomplete on the archive. Where is the rest?

The band is playing all over this version. Great collective jam, Jerry and Keith sound great despite sound quality problems.

High energy, tight and exuberent show opener on this epic (DP28) last night in one of the great months in Dead history.

The Eleven

Fillmore West

Sorry - didn't hear the correct version. The Eleven doesn't come out of Mason's. My bad.
St. Stephen

Fox Theatre

One-of-a-kind transition into Mason's. Historic, if only because this was the first DS>SS after Tom C. left the band (unless they played another one in Hawaii after January 23 that didn't make it onto the Archive...).
Dark Star

Fox Theatre

Everything you could want in a 1970 Star: Tight when it needs to be, then loose when it should be, eclectic, melodic, soaring, deep, complicated... Twists its themes around themselves like a moebius strip.
The Other One
Feb. 1, 1970
The Warehouse

Re-entry comes in with supernova force and one of those throat-drying "I hope I can handle this" moments. Some folks are probably still seeing tracers from it. Though it does have a patch missing, it's still hella worth the ride.

Deep, subtle, beautiful acoustic version. So intimate, it sounds like they're just singing around a campfire.
