Solid, strident version. Bobby and Phil take on the rowdies with a cool rap after, too. Great first set all around.

Punk rock version, responding to an aggressive Detroit crowd. "Relax man, we don't respond to that shit" sez Jerry.

Jumped up, pushing against the pulse. Seems like the rowdy crowd inspired our boys here. Gritty, almost aggressive vibe.

Strong pulse and Jerry giving it his all, vocally and instrumentally. Why doesn't this show have more love? Everything in the set is just slaying it.

Hard driver kicking off the show with Billy firing on all 8 cylinders. Mixer laureate C. Miller gives us a gem here, good copy after 1:10 of FM warble

Agreed. Loose tightness. Tight looseness. It's a real beauty in a somewhat underrated show.

Eyes has more complicated chord changes than a lot of the Dead's other work, and it's tough to jam over, but they absolutlely nailed it on its first-ever performance at the start of the amazing year of the Dead, 1973.

2nd performance ever, and it's loose and groovy but doesn't lift-off the way that others of the time do. Goes into a beautiful China Doll, and the whole show is just brilliant brilliant '73 Dead.

This DS starts with clear lyrical beauty from the whole band then moves into spaceyness. Really beautiful.

"We used to play for acid, now we play for Clive...." Great comment, Bobby. Wow. This is some of the best guitar work. I'm stunned.
