China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
July 1, 1973
Universal Amphitheatre

Rock-solid China with Jerry twisting and pulling its melodic basis throughout a great solo + great Feeling Groovy trans. into Rider.

Me and My Uncle
July 1, 1973
Universal Amphitheatre

By far the most snarlingly bad-assed version of 1973. Jer's lines it up and shoots it down, soloing intesely throughout the whole song.

Playin' In The Band
July 1, 1973
Universal Amphitheatre

25 minutes of nirvana. Absolutely everything a Playin' fan could look for - with that strange summer '73 blissed-out "intense mellow".

Dark Star
June 30, 1973
Universal Amphitheatre

Mellow jam leading to a slow simmert, then boils and finally melts down brilliantly into a pristine Eyes. Why isn't this here yet?

El Paso

Universal Amphitheatre

Cowboy Bob and the Mexican Maiden at high speed rip-roaring tempos. Great bursting energy.

He's Gone
Sept. 8, 1973
Nassau Coliseum

The jam AFTER the outro just so mysterious and beautiful.
Bird Song
Sept. 7, 1973
Nassau Coliseum

Total Bird Song. This show does drag in a few places during in the first set, perhaps due to being in the studio for the month prior, or new equipment. But by Bird Song, they were absolutely flying and it shows throughout the rest of the show. Just what I search for in this song.
Morning Dew

Roosevelt Stadium

Takes its time. And every sweet minute builds and builds. One gets the impression that Jerry chose the set list on his birthday as a big present to all of us....
Eyes Of The World
Aug. 1, 1973
Roosevelt Stadium

Monumentally massive 2nd set - with a great Dark Star before it. This is an experimental yet tight version. Around 14:00 it really takes off into new territory. A beauty.
Dark Star
Aug. 1, 1973
Roosevelt Stadium

The real deal: Dark Star as endless source. It tickles your ears then floats you senseless, then moves into the farther corners of the cosmos. It stretches, it bends, it melts, it gets scary. Listen to it again and again and again, there's always something new in it....
