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

Nashville Municipal Auditorium

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.

Sounds like Tom C. on a steam calliope. Any historians out there know what rig he was on here? Cool, pure 1970 sound here just giving birth to itself out of the crash landing of the sixties....

Jerry's vocal performance is clear and beautiful. Sweet, pure version.

Funny you'd say that hvd, I just made a similar comment about 10 June 1973: Opening with the Dew always means going in big.

Any show that OPENS with Morning Dew is going to be spectacular. Maybe that's too obvious to say, but damn they mean bizznezz from the start. A ripsnorting version from all sides.
