Toe-tappin' and up-tempo with great vocals - Phil sounds amazing on the out chorus. Fun stuff!

The last 35 min of this show are just beautiful. From NFA till the end it's just smooth sailing goddamned good times Grateful Dead. Enjoy.

No Pig rap or sonic dose of the clap like others from the era, a a glorious slow-boiling jam over 18 minutes well worth the listen.

Dark Star
June 10, 1973
RFK Stadium

One of the melodically most inventive Dark Stars ever. This one has infinity all over it and makes me smile smile smile each time I hear it. Lots of Phil weirdness and electronica, too - sounds like what he'd be doing in '74 with Seastones.
Here Comes Sunshine

Slower than versions earlier in the tour. Not so much a hymn of bursting springtime joy but more a long mellow ride in the hot summer sun.
Eyes Of The World
June 10, 1973
RFK Stadium

Full of exploring jams, cool Slipknot teases mid-way through and just the right amount of joyful chaos, with a really cool blues jam for the last 30 seconds that could have gone elswhere, but landed in a Stella. Great version.
Playin' In The Band
June 10, 1973
RFK Stadium

High-octane jam. Brilliant interplay between everybody.

But agreed! The vocals are outstanding and the collective improv is just jaw droppingly good. Not to overstate it, but the whole 3rd set is explosively good.
