One More Saturday Night
Rocks pretty hard, but what really steals the show is Bobby lettin' loose and tearin' up some vocal cords
15
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Uber TIGHT. Under the radar too, spin this one for sure if you haven't you won't regret it!

Me and Bobby McGee
Sweet and lovely. Jerry's virtuoso fillagree behind Bobby's smooth-as-smoke vocals just slay me here.
7
Brown Eyed Women
Like with all Winter '73s the band is in excellent form. Bobby's slashing chords behind Big Jer just make this one an uptempo gem.
10
Nobody's Fault But Mine
Fully jammed out vocal version in underrated jam from late '73...probably the peak period for NFBM...

Take A Step Back
One of the earliest versions of America's favorite fun game: Go Back to Your Seats. Happens before Around & Around.
8
Ramble On Rose
A very tight version with great Phil bombs and Jerry solo. This show slips under the radar. Don't miss it.
7
Sugaree
As a queen sits down, knowing that a chair will be there,/ Or a general raises his hand and is given the field-glasses
6
Around and Around
Duke University Craziness - after a legendary "clear the fire aisles" speech, the band breaks into a powerfully manic version of this romp. Exciting!
7
Big River
Are you kidding, not even listed yet?! This is the second best version ever, after 1973-07-01

Truckin'
Great version from an amazing tour. They had to play two Jer ballads to get everyone calmed down after the jam.
