Listen past the saturated AUD murk and behold a masterpiece. High energy, hitting the highlights and ending on a perfect feedback whine. Great show.

Man, they're having a blast. Totally firing on all cylinders, and clipping along at 90mph. Great stuff.

Solid rockin' version with a cruisin' pulse and tight ensemble playing at high energy.

Back from Europe with all the polish and power of a masterpiece: They've perfected the arc and emotional nuance. Miller cleanup is best (duh).

Gets pretty hard rock in places. This whole show, actually, has a high voltage rock vibe unlike all others on the tour. Underrated show all round.

Showcases the weird freakiness hidden in plain sight amongst the best Estimateds: Around five-and-a-half minutes in Keith hits you with smearing swooshes of sound that will give you flashbacks, accompanying Jerry throughout a smoldering solo.

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.
