Not Fade Away

Has it all, and goes seamlessly into a killer Lovelight. Not catching why this show is the bomb? Try HEADPHONES - makes a big difference!

Let It Grow

As a young head I used to scream out for LIG and this one reminds me why. They click into place for a monster show right here.

Scarlet Begonias

Scarlet scrambled eggs deconstructed and elemental. Fun and Jerry is on fire, but we can't say 'flawless'. Chaotic fun. Band's just warming up....

Bird Song

Dillon Gym

A strangly deconstructed early version (7th time ever), very loose in the joints. But it rolls along with great lopsided beauty. Interesting.

Brilliant soloing. Great version.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
March 22, 1973
Utica Memorial Auditorium

This is one of the finest China-Riders I've ever heard with a smooth transition aided by fact that they stream as one song. Utica March '73 does seem a bit underappreciated and 22 March has fast precise and exploratory playing all over its great setlist.
They Love Each Other
March 22, 1973
Utica Memorial Auditorium

Short and sweet.
Mexicali Blues
March 22, 1973
Utica Memorial Auditorium

Great version. Throw-away or not, when the boys are as tight and energetic as this, it bodes well for the rest of the show. El Paso falls in the same category, and it too is just on blazingly good during this set.
Dark Star
March 21, 1973
Utica Memorial Auditorium

Agreed - the show is underrated, maybe because so many of the jams are of an understated, cool-mellow vibe instead of being hot and fast.... Not this one, though. The meltdown in this Star is a blisteringly weird one.
