This one's got it!!! Great, as far as post-pigpen goes... Supported by diehard bobby energy and robustly happy mid 80's glide.

Crowd congeals on this one. Unstoppably creative phil, they go deep into the caverns of cosmic deaad, colombian antics and deluxe goodz.

Here Comes Sunshine
July 28, 1973
Grand Prix Racecourse

Here comes sunshine 1973 is really one of those unbeatable song/year combos for me, like a Scarlet Fire from '77 or a lovelight from '69, there's just something about it. The whole band turning on in a big way. Taking the vacation together

Sheeeeeee-it, looks like we've got an underrated show here. Nearly 4 hours of summer '73 bliss at Watkins Glen. Burning burning burning beat it.
Box of Rain

Such a long time to be gone and such a short time to be there. yeah, an amazing box of rain on this show. I definitely would have started crying during this song and kept my grateful eye shedding going into that fat juicy 73 here comes sunshine. Here's the show. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I9lsWCYKgvI
Revolution

Whoa, marylandian insanity on this encore. A bust-out of an old distorted rave-up of a Beatles B-side, accompanied by Lennon's "Activism" type political screed. The hippie dippie vibe wins out and the song has always been a great one, especially in the slowed down "Revolution 1" white album style. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3gaA4r_07Q very end!

Add it to the endless list of great cassidys, a headlong boppin' yet wise and wistful early bob weir tune
