These "retirement" versions have a cool vibe, this one is my favorite of the two.

Bob muffs the words but all's well that ends well...the unique space-jazz jam out of this one is not to be missed. Such a chill Oregon vibe!

Absolutely blissful jams out of this one! Garcia gets in some hot slide licks before setting up a gorgeous, lilting transition.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Dane County Coliseum

This show was one of my first "tapes", and I've always had quite a soft spot for it. I used to rewind the segue in this China>Rider over and over because i loved it so much :D

Pershing Municipal Auditorium

I agree this is a wonderful version, though not my favorite spring '73 Star by a long shot. Grendel, if you dig this one, try 3-16-73. A little skimpier (only 15 mins. until they get to the verse and go into the "space-junk") but totally worth your time if you like'em jazzy.
