Jerry's solo to close this one out is hard-driving and aggressive.

This particular version of this particular universe doesn't have a better one than this.

Well worth a listen. Sloppy and tight all at once.

Wharf Rat
Nov. 21, 1973
Denver Coliseum

The ‘El Paso’ is the mayo and this ‘Rat’ is the meat of this great PITB sandwich. Very well executed, with a cool outro. Incidentally, when did Donna first help out with vocals on the ‘I’ll get up and fly away’ portion?

A very nice sandwich. The PITB segments are all very good and full of interest. The ‘El Paso’ and ‘Wharf Rat’ contained herein are each good ones, particularly the ‘Wharf Rat’. The final ‘Playin’’ segment has a ‘Tiger Jam’ just before the reprise.

Phil and Bill lock in early and set this one up nicely. Is it a mellow intensity or an intense mellowness that pervades this one? Anyway, who cares? its good.

Limber and loose-limbed, this one is. May be the hottest from Fall '73.
