Nice slower tempo, and that vintage 1970 Jerry tone..

Lost Sailor -> Saint of Circumstance

Geez, the jam in Saint builds and builds and builds until it feels like your head will explode. Excellent!
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Rainbow Theater

^^ agreed, this is excellent. The Scarlet solo is nice and long and Brent does some cool stuff in the transition. The Sailor>Saint that follows is stellar too..

Bird Song

Universal Amphitheatre

Underrated Bird here flying under the radar. Dream-like quality to this one similar to the version played eight days earlier in Vancouver.
The Other One

Universal Amphitheatre

Phil launches into the bossa nova style jam around the 3:30 mark that was unique to ‘73.. solid version
