Laguna Seca Raceway

Audio problems abound, but I quite fancy Jerry's playing in "Scarlet."

Sports Arena

Fast. Tight. Happy. What more could you ask for?

Not Fade Away
July 28, 1973
Grand Prix Racecourse

Be forewarned- the sound quality on this is absolutely brutal, but it's worth it if you can make it through.

Sitting on Top of the World
Dec. 5, 1971
Felt Forum - Madison Square Garden

Out of a killer "DS," and a nice reading of a classic blues tune. Dig those changes!

Tight, punchy version.

Morning Dew
March 26, 1973
Baltimore Civic Center

I've been conditioned to hear that transition out of Eyes into China Doll (and for a second it sounded like they weren't sure which one they were going to hit). It's a yowza of a Dew!
Eyes Of The World
March 26, 1973
Baltimore Civic Center

They got the groove right on.
Me and Bobby McGee
March 26, 1973
Baltimore Civic Center

This is one of those instances where Bobby's cowboy song fits just right into what's going on in the set, and Garcia's particularly sensitive behind him.
Wharf Rat
March 26, 1973
Baltimore Civic Center

When they get the tempo of Wharf Rat just right, it's eerie how similar it sounds to Dark Star.
Truckin'

Baltimore Civic Center

Killer stuff. The transition and jam on the WRS material are all-time.
