Joyous and radiant. This song just brings on the love. High energy pulse throughout.

Jer sings harmony in parts while whipping out precise 16th-note passages at warp speed. Awesome.

Spring '73 is the fountain of youth for Eyes fans. This brilliant version has the first (?) Slipknot tease around 11:00. Great show all around.

The levels on my copy are all way up in the red, the sound over-saturated and distorting, and I looooooove it. Slamming along at full locomotive power and just killing it.

Would nominate this as a good "entry-level" version for someone who likes old rock and roll, but isn't tuned into live Dead yet. Strong, solid, grooving pulse. Would also nominate this as a sweet-assed groove to dance nice and slow to with your lover. Just sayin'.

Bobby introduces with "We're going to do a Hugo Winterhalter song now", which is pretty Prankster when you think about it.

Jerry just can't stop here, and pulls them back from ending it not once, but twice, to great comic and great rock'n'roll effect. Loose as all hell, but he can play that guitar just like ringing a bell! Hell of a show opener.

Jerry sounds like champagne bubbles throughout. It's like he's got fifteen extra fingers.
