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

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

Not Fade Away

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

Felt Forum - Madison Square Garden

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

Hard to Handle

Fillmore East

Hot shit (and that "Okie" is too funny, given the context). It's been on my list, but I haven't heard anything from this run before. Can't wait to tuck in after hearing this!
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Nov. 14, 1973
San Diego International Sports Arena

Hot and light at the same time. Some deadly thumps from Phil too!

Some nice playing! Have yet to hear a '73 "HCS" that's not worth a listen.

Totally agree, and there's some beautiful music during the transition. Grendel, you heard this yet?

Hell yeah! It's a thick version with everyone going off on it at once. And listen to Bob go!
