Been listening to this every chance I can all week. The band's so tight, Bobby's singing passionate and precise, Jer's musicality soaring. Amazing.

Sweet and subtle: A beautiful come down after the muscular peak Eyes - but the set isn't done and they ramp it up again for more. A gem of a show.

Interrupted by bad fight in front of the stage. Phil goes bonkers, calls the security guard "Asshole". Weird scene/bad vibes.

Keith on organ just kills it. He's hot in the mix and the song has a totally different feel for it. Show overshadowed by Nov.-Dec. '73 but worth it.

For a song that I'll admit to tuning out often, I'd have to rate this one much much higher than its present 2 votes. This kicks off with a high voltage, almost Cumberland feel and never lets up. Relentless drive, uptempo chaotic whitewater feel, Jerry ablaze with ideas. A great version.

Great story behind this one in "Long Strange Trip" told by Dennis Wiz Leonard about 15 minutes into the 3rd Act. One of the all time great moments capping Europe '72.

Keith's ascending power chords as Bobby ramps it up are just brilliant. I haven't heard it quite like that before. Just brilliant.

Some of Keith's best (and therefore the GD's best) piano soloing ever. Just fantastic.
