Here Comes Sunshine
In a song that is typically a highlight reel, this version is no different. Beautiful jam

Row Jimmy
Right around the time of my favorite version (6.30.73) and it is sublime, like everything the Dead touched in mid-73

Truckin'
Swingin' and groovin'...Phil takes charge on forgotten first verse..Bob drops an f-bomb but seems to censor himself on "ain't it a shame" line. Funny

Jack Straw
Purrs along like a smooth stretch of highway. The whole first set has understated beauty. A gem.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Super mellow and smooth, understated grace - like the rest of the first set here - and one cool '73 beauty of a transition to Rider. Overlooked!

You Ain't Woman Enough To Take My Man
Donna sounds fantastic here, and Jerry just glistens on the guitar backing her up. Great C&W Dead.

Sugar Magnolia
Can be easy to overlook '73 Sugar Mags since they played it so much , but this one's solid.

Deal
Holy crap, I can’t believe that I’m the one posting this here finally in 2021. Maybe I’m just really feelin it , but this version is red HOT

El Paso
Seems like this show needs more love around here...a few high vote-getters, but the whole thing rocks
