Veterans' Memorial Hall

Electrifying set opener (I think) that shows off that St. St. connection brilliantly.

Jerry's backup vocals give this one sweet emotion. Chronically under-appreciated song.

Tight, nice CC. Seems like 1st moment of the set the band is firing on all cylinders. Trans. stretches to great IKYR.

Compelling version with Jerry exploring new ideas. It doesn't quite soar like other Fall '72s, but still stretches out and worth a close listen.

Pity the SQ is so flat, as this one cooks up nice and hot, with some extra melodicism in the outro jam before D>TOO. This show needs a SBD infusion.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

All around great show from a great run of shows. This China quickly moves into a IKYR-feel, then a great Feeling Groovy Jam. The Rider is stunningly good and the music just lifts off and takes wing.

Even by '73 standards this is hotter than hot. Listen to the whole concert: Not one clunker.

Top form '73 in a spectacular show from first note to finish. Truckin'>TOO>IKYR just mindbending. First set is a shitkickin' country bender. All good.

Totally overlooked concert.
