Palais Des Sports

Really dark sounding jam dominated by Phil and Jerry. Some unique, jazzy soloing from Jerry too.

Public Hall

Fast, tight and energetic with really inventive Jerry jams in the trasition. One of the best of '73

Philadelphia Civic Center

Wild, hairy, and at times scary Herbie Hancock-esque jazz in this one. One of the all-time best!!!

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
Sept. 7, 1973
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!
The Other One
Dec. 19, 1973
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..."
