High energy, and remarkable that they could pull it off after an hour of continuous jamming. Great show all round.

In spite of equipment stalls the set really takes off here. Great Miller mix showcases Bobby in the left channel. Beautiful version.

Keith is high in the mix and it's just brilliant. The NFA was a bit sloppy, but they nail the GDTRFB and the outro.

Fast and loose, with great Keith barrelhouse fills. Jerry doesn't want to quit. Good fun.

Agreed. Loose tightness. Tight looseness. It's a real beauty in a somewhat underrated show.

Eyes has more complicated chord changes than a lot of the Dead's other work, and it's tough to jam over, but they absolutlely nailed it on its first-ever performance at the start of the amazing year of the Dead, 1973.

2nd performance ever, and it's loose and groovy but doesn't lift-off the way that others of the time do. Goes into a beautiful China Doll, and the whole show is just brilliant brilliant '73 Dead.

This DS starts with clear lyrical beauty from the whole band then moves into spaceyness. Really beautiful.

"We used to play for acid, now we play for Clive...." Great comment, Bobby. Wow. This is some of the best guitar work. I'm stunned.
