Pretty Peggy O

Powerful and incandescent. I’ll admit Peggy-O can sometimes bore me, but not this one!

He's Gone

Grand Prix Racecourse

Don't let sound quality issues prevent you from hearing this. As fresh and crisp as any of the other fine He's Gones from spring and summer.

They end up running through the “solo” section twice. Both times are as hot as you would expect for ’73.

Brent goes funky with his solo, then Jerry goes lyrical.

Drums -> Space

What sounds like a momentary Let It Grow tease in Space, if you’re listening for something in particular. Powerful and pure Grateful Dead.

Phil, Jesus!
Playin' In The Band

Baltimore Civic Center

Fascinating sense of deconstruction in the jam. All fire in the beginning, it then dissipates into a series of quieter musings before kicking into the reprise.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Sept. 17, 1972
Baltimore Civic Center

There’s some really cool stuff in the transition jam, the last moments of which Jerry seeks to draw out for longer than usual before alighting on Rider. Great headlight verse and Rider climax, too.
Bird Song

Baltimore Civic Center

The whole band really digs in from the word “go.” No apparent easing in. No wonder the BAM is like a thunder crack.
El Paso

Baltimore Civic Center

This one sparkles. Not as wild, or veering on chaotic, as some from ’73-’74. The first set steadily builds momentum as it goes, and it’s noticeable here.
