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

Beautiful intro with a powerful, fast LIG jam

Portland Memorial Coliseum

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!

Playin' In The Band
Oct. 21, 1973
Omaha Civic Auditorium

Just have to add that I think this medley is a little better than the version they did on 10/27/73; Playin' reprise gets especially wild!
Playin' In The Band

Nassau Coliseum

Really intense, jazzy version...Garcia is on fire for the whole show, which is one of the best of the year IMO.

Alpine Valley

This transition is as perfect as it gets and one of the best of the '80s, if not all time!

Curtis Hixon Convention Hall

I think this version as a whole is a bit underwhelming, but the Tiger/feedback section deserves special mention as one of the greatest "spaces" ever performed.

Fillmore West

"It's really too weird up here, it really is..."
