Hard-swingin' version with lots of oomph behind it. Sweet show.

A dynamite set opener, worth the ride in spite of some rough aud/soundboard patches.

Phil in good form, high energy and an epic 1st set. A must for '73 fans.

More hard rockin' than others in the tour. Stretches out a bit more too, though rough in places has great energy.

Jerry's metallic tone and Bobby's angular hard-swiping slasher effect turn the jam into a wild industrial ride. Pigpen is of course in perfect form. All in all it's hard to believe this is '66. Good ol' Grateful Dead indeed - with a biting hard edge that shows how they could already turn on a dime from peaceful hippies into a dangerous menacing force at this stage.

Outrageous jam on this early gem. Pigpen's voice is perfect and the band goes bananas behind him.

Starts a little rougher, but turns into a solid-fuel rocket and blasts off in a truly inspired jam.

Y'all got me: This is magic. Just how dialled in do you have to be to meet lighting bolts with thunder? Go Phil go...

Deep and dark. Wonderful, mysterious and powerful.
