Because every song in this show deserves to be here. This is a solid rocking version, just excellent.

One of the perfect ones, and one of the last songs from this epic show to be posted here: A near perfect show from '72, one of the best.

Jer: "This is a new song... and it goes exactly like this". Pigpen: "No it don't." Either way, it kicks like the good stuff.

Shocked it isn't here yet. Did you stop at Donna's beastly howl? If you did, you missed Jerry rip spacetime. Listen up and dig this Playin', really.

"Thank's Texans" Phil sez to the NY crowd. This one is a rollicking good time. Jer is all over it behind a great Cowboy Bob showcase.

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.
