Download series #8. Just an effortlessly smooth version all around; great vocals and flowing leads from jerry. The epitome of all that is fall '73.

Utica Memorial Auditorium

This night I think gets overlooked also because of poor SQ due to tape damage. If there were better tapes of the 2nd set especially, I think it would be more well regarded.

Goddamn what a set closer!!!
St. Stephen

Probably the best post-hiatus version. That jam is so utterly unique, and the melodies just pour out of Jerry's guitar like water...incredible.

The Ark

Absolutely classic...one of only two St.Steve>It's a Sin>St. Steve!
Eyes Of The World

Dick's Picks 28 has the (nearly) complete show including Eyes. This is one of my favorite shows of '73.
