Relaxed and joyous space-age electric guitar semi-ballad.

Warp speed, precise, slightly unhinged, and driving into the greenish-blue evening.

Godchaux leads a version that seethes with the excitement of a new song.

A giggly, slangy Garcia masterpiece (in sweet show sauce). Goes down EZ.

I know it - I think this show holds up very next to its Ark brethren. But the Ark trio would just make a tidy little case of fireworks.

a fresh '73 WPS is always welcome on these shores. But this one is sorta pointillic, he said, out of his ass. Crispedelic even. Garcia high steps out @12:00. High-end electric guitar improvisation. Improvisitation.

ARK, ARK, ARK . . . I'm sorry: I was lobbying for an official release of the Ark shows.

I completely concur ds67: this show is a total classic. Love all these 72 Paramount shows.
