Rock music as it should be. The band is really on this night and this song just flies.

Donna and Bobby really sing it-NO screeching. Their singing throughout this June 76 run is just fine. For all you Donna haters, listen to this

Solid,well sung, nice little solo, and it is so sweet after the huge UJB>Wharf Rat>DS>Sugar Mag that comes before it. It just fits in so well.

Box of Rain

Roscoe Maples Pavilion - Stanford University

Due to Phil no longer being able to sing and trying to reach for the high parts, this absolutely beautiful song tends to get massacred post 72. This,however, is a fairly decent version from a great show.

What was it?Seven new songs all played superbly well. A great show from the early 1973 run of shows.

Is this the first time Jerry sings," Don't you let that deal go down, Children"? Great show.

Yup,this is a song I usually skip, but for some reason stayed listening-glad I did. this whole run at the Academy of music the LLR's are magical. Just love the pedal steel playing.
