Short, but listen to crowd freak out when the riff starts. Solid show on Lennon's birthday.

Trippy board effects on vocals. Everything this song should be.

This one takes the plunge. Serious exploration.
Big River

Winterland Arena

I rarely pass over these late '73 Big Rivers on the way to the Big Jams, and this is a great example why. Everything cooks, and Bobby especially is adding a lot. Plus the BR-flavored jam late in the Dark Star ties the set together beautifully.

Whoo! Great version.
China Cat Sunflower

Fillmore West

This whole first set is very good.
