'73 was a special year for He's Gone. Could Keith play any sweeter than on this version? I think not.

Man did I ever love Sugar Mag sandwich 2nd sets. It always signalled a dance marathon ahead. Add in my favorite Brent transition ever to Scarlet.

West High Auditorium

Right out of the chutes, no warm-up high octane Dead. Cool Brent solo drives into a MANIC Jerry jam.
Comes A Time
May 9, 1977
War Memorial

Hell yeah this is the top performance of this beautiful song. It's outstanding.
Bird Song

Hershey Park Stadium

Kicks off a triplet of Garcia songs. This version is smooth and transitions sweetly into Comes a Time. Beautiful.

Swing Auditorium

I love Jerry's run up the neck to start the 2nd solo. And Keith's got the honky tonk keys going on. Like it!

Vote here for Brent's solo alone. Great stuff.
