He's Gone
Aug. 12, 1972
Sacramento Memorial Auditorium
Sweet outro on this one. Donna's got the sweet harmony and Phil with the bass vox makes it pretty kind.

Me and My Uncle
Aug. 12, 1972
Sacramento Memorial Auditorium
MAMU is so often overlooked, but this one is hiding in plain sight. Hard jumpin' rocker here with a savage pulse, and great banter after.

Paramount Theater
After the ultra-outre Dark Star, this pure rock and roll distillate is just perfect goodness. A burner with Billy hard charging in 4-wheel drive.

You Win Again

Note for note perfect. The only reason it isn't here yet is that the shows between Europe and Berkeley/Veneta are too often overlooked.

Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad

Paramount Theater
Possibly the highest energy piece in the whole show. An excellent jam that left the crowd smiling, for certain.

Weather Report Suite

Kiel Auditorium
Beautiful transition out of an epic Eyes, keeping up the mellow vibe of the whole show: Take-yer-time, we'll get there...
Eyes Of The World

Kiel Auditorium
This whole show has a nice take-our-time vibe. They build up slow and steady, but get there in the end, making this another top-shelf '73 Eyes.
Here Comes Sunshine
Oct. 30, 1973
Kiel Auditorium
Zen-like spacious "hot mellow" like the best of '73. Opening the show like this must have told the heads in attendance, "Gear up boys and girls, we're on tonight...."
Eyes Of The World
Oct. 29, 1973
Kiel Auditorium
Truly one of the most amazing examples of the GD's brilliance ever. I love this version. No secret that '73 Eyes are soaring glories (wings a mile long...) but this one stands out for its crisp precision and the absolutely freakingly shredding jam after the interlude leading straight into China Doll. Leaves me breathless.
Truckin'

Kiel Auditorium
Beautiful spaced out jazz. Sounds for a second like Jer wanted to go into Stella right before Drums.
