The AUD is amazing. Keith shines, and everybody's into it. Bootstrap '76 knockin' down your door.

To the point - and totally out of the blue. This is Dead magic.

One of their truly psychedelic songs, on a truly psychedelic night. Incredible transition from Cryptical.

The Other One
March 22, 1973
Utica Memorial Auditorium

CRIMINALLY underrated. Seamless, throughout the whole thing. Not a second wasted. A '73 type Other One, executed close to perfection.

bzfgt is 100% correct, this oughta get up closer towards the top. One of the best Trucksplosions of '73!
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Aug. 5, 1974
Philadelphia Civic Arena

I never got the Feelin' Groovy thing in China/Riders. It always feels like it disrupts the whole feel and tempo of the song, and following many of the transition jams they did in '72 especially, Feelin' Groovy seems redundant to add to an already perfect match. That said, this version is a killer. Short and sweet Feelin' Groovy, after a ferocious transition jam. The matrix is your best bet. Upvote for sure!

Long Beach Arena

Lovely. Not a definitive Star as mentioned above, but the "moments" that you often find in the best of dead-jams comes a-plenty here.

The way Phil shakes everyone off balance and brings them into the free jam is a classic Dead moment. Seriously underrated meat-sequence, has to be heard at least once.
