A little bemused this one hasn't gotten more ink. Has every element and quite high-octane. Garcia is wearing the conductor's robe, but the drums are right there translating in real time.
The Other One
March 31, 1973
War Memorial

Intimate and smooth-lane-shifting - largely due to Kreutzmann. He was soooooo happy back there alone. Just a deluxe Other One.

Garcia hitting the crystalline half-harmonics. Funky Buffalo edition.

Does it get any silkier than Spring '73? Me no think so.

I'd classify this RIP-SNORTING. There are smoother, more glistening versions, but this one has spunk! I hate spunk. Kidding. This version is fucking great. Bonus points: KG setting the table with filters and such.
