Maybe my favorite show from '73. I definitely like the noises the guitars make while packing up the harmonic chorus that leads into LIG. Usually Jack Straws prior to '77 lack variety for my tastes but the one from 12.12.73 has sweet licks during fine verse "Jack straw from Wichita cut his buddy down "sweet licks from Jerry" And dug.....repeat

Great version but my three go to sugar cubes are 12/27/77, 10/12/83 and 8/30/80 Luckily CRS is one of few songs I can tolerate from all eras and never get bored of it.
