They Love Each Other
March 31, 1973
War Memorial

This song gets better and better during the Spring '73 tour. Here it grooves with so much butt in it, just try to sit still.

Triumphant and building, reaches one peak after another. Beautifully harmonised.

So fine. Jer and Keith are so playful and so fast, Bobby's on.

Nice banging and clanging solos here and a damned fine backwoods country vibe to this whole first set.

Great high-energy show opener. 30-31 March '73 often overlooked. Give a listen and you wont regret it.

Playin' In The Band
May 17, 1974
P.N.E. Coliseum

There, right there, at 11:15 in: Phil melts every single brain in the house. He does it again around 17:20.... Seriously, though it seems that Phil's interest in electronic sounds, leading to Seastones later this year, (and ultimately to the Space segment), starts becoming increasingly evident during this tour and this Playin' shows it.

Adams Field House, U of Montana

Fresh and energetic. Sounds like they'd been rehearsing it a lot for the Mars Hotel recordings. Donna reproduces her "solo" from record almost note for perfect note.
Greatest Story Ever Told
Aug. 27, 1972
Old Renaissance Faire Grounds

A song that never gets the love, but Jerry just shreds it so massively. We know the boys could soar, tweak, trip balls out, and steal your face, but they can also rock and rock hard. No further proof necessary, here it is.
The Eleven
Oct. 20, 1968
Greek Theatre - University of California

A whole lotta Dead packed into this: '68 coming on like the big bang that shoots you out of a bright sparkling cannon until you land somewhere in the mid-70s....
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
March 23, 1974
Cow Palace

Somewhere in here they just take of and soar, transforming this from an interesting show into an epic one. Great version.
