Fun and thunderous, this version has some great grooves.

Clean and confident reading with lots of personality from Phil and Vince.

Box of Rain
April 2, 1973
Boston Garden

To my ears, this is the closest this song has ever come to living up to its potential live.
U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)
April 2, 1973
Boston Garden

Easily the best played version while it was still "wave that flag" Worth checking out on that merit.
Row Jimmy
April 2, 1973
Boston Garden

Bobby's arpeggios and chord work make this one unusually groovy and danceable. Unique and inspired from start to finish.
Deal
April 2, 1973
Boston Garden

Pre '77 Dead never really did Deal proper, and while this version is well-played, knowing what Deal could and would achieve later makes these versions hard to recommend.
Stella Blue
March 28, 1973
Civic Center

Short and sweet, but sharp. This is probably the best version prior to Jerry finding the right spot for this in set lists.
