Like the night before, a great version from a legendary show that I'm surprised wasn't already here...

Shocked this wasn't here already...gorgeous version from a legendary show, about two weeks before they recorded the studio version.

For a song with less diversity from one version to the next, this one is better than most, and rare coming so late in the show...

An all-timer kicking off an all-time great show, just two weeks before they recorded the studio version...

Am I the only one who finds '73 PITB's slightly underwhelming compared to their Fall '72 counterparts? Don't get me wrong, they're well-played and great to vibe to, but they don't seem to be as complex for the most part...

One of the best. I've never heard Jerry sing it better...
