Wait a minute! Hard to figure how this one hasn't been posted yet. Very solid all 'round performance by all.

Clear, pure, and beeyootiful. The boys' voices are on, the sound well mixed, and all is well.

Tight, sweet version. Doesn't have the inferno element from some at the top, but a strong one nevertheless.

Comes in super sweetly after a short and scary TOO, like feather whispers needed to get the mind back in the body. Good trip guiding, really.

Bobby's Satan's-goina-getchya vocals add to the wild speedy visciousness of this monster.

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.
