Perfectly executed arc of mounting emotions in this great version. The band is so tight throughout this show.

Righteous beauty from probably the most seriously overlooked show from '73 (surrounded by the big beasts in Boston) inside a Playin' just soooo good.

Outrageous oversight that this crystal clear beauty isn't here. Bobby's vocals, brilliant ensemble playing, glorious UJB in the sandwich. DIG IT!!!

Great version, yeah its Boston '73. But probably the best Stage Banter ever: Check out 09:49 explaining why they aren't going to play St. Stephen.

Nov. '73 and there isn't a bad show in it. This Loser has something special in its tightness and the tempo (doesn't drag). Damn they were good.

Beautiful transition out of an epic Eyes, keeping up the mellow vibe of the whole show: Take-yer-time, we'll get there...

This whole show has a nice take-our-time vibe. They build up slow and steady, but get there in the end, making this another top-shelf '73 Eyes.

Zen-like spacious "hot mellow" like the best of '73. Opening the show like this must have told the heads in attendance, "Gear up boys and girls, we're on tonight...."

Truly one of the most amazing examples of the GD's brilliance ever. I love this version. No secret that '73 Eyes are soaring glories (wings a mile long...) but this one stands out for its crisp precision and the absolutely freakingly shredding jam after the interlude leading straight into China Doll. Leaves me breathless.

Beautiful spaced out jazz. Sounds for a second like Jer wanted to go into Stella right before Drums.
