West Palm Beach Auditorium

This is when I thought the show locked in.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Reno Centennial Coliseum

Jerry's just on fire throughout this whole show. They jam the beginning for a while before the first verse at a nice, brisk clip.

West Palm Beach Auditorium

Bit slower than the ones I usually groove on, but Jerry's bounce started off a very fine day for me.

Nice shuffle. Jerry and Donna's vocals on this sound great (how many times can you find that?)

The Spectrum

Not the best ever, but the live premiere. Listen to the AUD to hear the crowd flip!

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.
