Wickedly jazzy and powerful; not as wild as 8/27, but it can hardly be faulted for that!

Amazingly hot; Jerry and Keith kick things up a notch about halfway thru the jam and it never lets up!

Tight, jazzy and a little freaky too. An underappreciated highlight of a great show.

Two from the Vault. Sharp and energetic. For its time, Garcia and Lesh hit a new level on this one .

A beautiful MLB jam followed by some of the freakest DS space you'll ever hear. Careful around this one...

Legendary warp-speed jazz fusion jamming. Keith sounds like Herbie Hancock at times. I also dig how they revisit the "Stronger than Dirt" theme at the very end.

Whole band is absolutely ON FIRE, one of the hottest of Fall '73.

Lots of lyrical flubs but ol' Jer makes up for it with some stunningly good playing...definitely dig
