Totally overlooked show, but blazing hot and extraordinary jams. Everything here that make '73 what it is.

Mellow accoustic goodness - sweet and evocative. The whole set is 1970 amazingnessiosity at its headiest.

Playing down to their last allowed second, the boys squeeze a tight (top-40 levels) hard rockin' version. Killer end to a great little show.

The Other One
Dec. 1, 1971
Boston Music Hall

Thanks a lot Blob Weird. That's one of my favorite versions and I'll check it out again for the tease. I love how the Dead mix everything together - the delicate theme from WRS right in the middle of a sweaty Pig blues... and why not? Sorry about the double post. UPDATE: It's actualy in the outro of TOO after MAMU, not Hard to Handle, but it's certainly there. Cool!

WRS Prelude "tease" at 3:13 of the reprise. It's absolutely clear. Does anybody know of one earlier? Anybody? Also a very beautiful and great jam after MAMU.

Sweet and honest, this song always gives me chills. The Betty Board is oh so nice.

Dark Star

Fillmore East

Starts as a whisper and takes its time, filled with silences and, well, space, not "Space". It builds then into the great musical promise that is Dark Star at its most wonderous and beautiful.
