Crisp soloing and clear, limpid lines from the inexhaustible well of musical ideas here. Jed has never been my top song, but Jer just sparkles here.

Smooth and cool. C.Miller's cleanup brings out a lush mix that just sounds sooooo good. Great segue into Truckin', too.

Smooth as butter, this one. Note for note beauty.

Don't let the murky and C+ sound stop you from this gem. Would someone with C. Miller's phone number ask him about this show, please?

Continues one of the great stretches of peak Dead right after Veneta. Great jam, B- sound quality though.

Jerry shredding Playin', turning it on, up, inside out. Ridiculous light-speed soloing. This is why I listen to the Dead.

He's Gone>Truckin>TOO>Eyes = over 60 minutes of perfect jamming as they got their amazing '73 sound together in this wet dream of a 2nd set .

Check out the 'silence' around 7:30 followed by Phil's amazing sonic boom re-entry to go into the verse. Bang!
