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.

Savage cut in it tho. Mike Lai's soundboard has the last minute, but the AUD just fades out (tape change?)

The immortal Pig Rap. "I gotta bouta dolla and a quarter... You can't buy much for a dolla and a quarter...." And so much more. I agree with Phil (!): This is some of the best Pig out there.

Very hot, very tight, and freakishly good. Perfect transition into a nice Stella, too.

To fully grok this one, you have got to listen to the Dark Star before it. Phil is totally explosive here, and it comes out of one his most massive solos of the year right before it. Jerry then takes his lead and tears it up in the most completely beautiful way.
