One of the better Box of Rain,well sung nicely played. Cos the vocals are so important to this song I would wish others to hear it and vote it up.

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.
