Turns on a dime from the cerebral extended PiTB jam into a coal-burnin' tight jam with force and power. Hot stuff showing off their limitless range.

Having held "sing something Phil" banners, I always had a soft spot for BoR. This one is tightly played and powerfuly sung. Good stuff!

Hard rockin' version coming after a deliriously epic 2nd set suite. Crunchy and powerful.

A long, smooth outro allows for a little musical discussion whether it's going to TOO or Truckin'. Great stuff that must have stolen many faces.

This CC is so sweet and much longer than others of the era before signaling the >IKYR, with lots of room to stretch out and find the sound.

Starts a little loose, but tightens right up and becomes quite snappy, hurt only by the limited mix quality of the radio broadcast. Bobby and Donna are sounding good, and by Jerry's big solo the band is so tight that he just hits terminal velocity. The outro shreds so hard that we can still hear the heads grinding their jaws and trying to hold on to their eyeballs 47 whole years later.

cgarces: I'm no writer either, but I recall a period when these Winterland '73 shows were unavailable on the Archive. No access = No votes. It may be just as simple as that. On this version and recording: Such a pleasure to hear Bobby clearly, he's all but erased in too many shows from the era and here you hear just how much he feeds the jam, lifting and twisting up everything behind Jerry like the tightly coiled spring that makes the watch go. Phil's 100% dialed in here too, and Billy is lucid, clean, precise, and melodic, his soloing matches the big man's point-for-point. This is A+ top shelf PITB and its a pleasure whether you're listening for the first time or the 500th.

This is really fun and beautiful. Bobby is really audible in the left channel, which is relatively rare for the era, but he pops out during a couple of patches. I think the last time I went through '73 show by show these beauties weren't available (maybe the box was just coming out?) so goddamn, but it seems like I don't know them at all. Looks like I've got my listening sorted out for the next couple of days. It's like finding buried treasure here folks, imagine my smile.

Agreed on both points, even if the macho swagger can seem a bit hackneyed at times. Jerry gives this one a barbed-wire whipping party.

Toggles between a sweet-and-mellow swing and a fireworks factory just ready to blow. Jerry's solo before the 'pouring rain' verse generates so much heat and rises right up to the edge, then pulls back and whispers gently right into your ear. Then they do it again.... A great ride.
