Embarrassingly bad > from "Wheel," but full-on assault from the band that rages throughout otherwise.

They Love Each Other
Feb. 15, 1973
Dane County Coliseum

Yo Grendel, thanks for the love! Pitch some of your favorite shows at me, I'm trying to break out of my box!
You Ain't Woman Enough To Take My Man

Dane County Coliseum

Makes for a nice change of pace in the show. They should have given her more solos (well, let her sing lead on more covers), which would have helped save Jerry and Bobby's voices (but might have caused a near-riot, I understand that).
El Paso

I still have mixed feelings on Garcia's incessant playing behind some of these cowboy tunes. It would probably sound better on pedal steel, or if he was functioning as a counterpoint to Bobby's vocals. And what happens with Keith at the end (he keeps playing after the song ends?)
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Feb. 15, 1973
Dane County Coliseum

I didn’t find “China” particularly inspired, but the > gets real good real fast, and the “Rider” is quite nice. I agree with corals, and think the transition is the best part of this version.

There were some stumbles on the first verse, but then it takes off.
