The jittery bridge between an epic, 19-min Truckin' and a pretty cool TOO...

Kicks off an epic 34-song show in style with an excellent solo from Keith!

Pretty trippy one bridging the gap between an epic Truckin' and a pretty great TOO

This one is dreamy indeed. Was listening last night as I watched the season's first snowfall out my window and it was magical. Billy is fantastic here.

This is criminally underrated! At 11:30 or so in length, it's gotta be the longest version they'd played to that point, and one of the longest ever. The intro is nearly three minutes long, and is tear-jerkingly good, as is the solo. Jerry then gives the 7/4 section a distinctly PITB flair. Well-sung as well...A++

Gorgeous beginning indeed, and some fantastic jamming in the LIG section! This show, though on the shorter side for '73, is excellent. I'm finding that the link between length and quality isn't particularly strong when it comes to '73 shows — weaker than it is for '72, at least...

Criminally underrated! Should be on the first or second page...
