Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Long Beach Arena

Cream of the crop, top shelf Scarlet<Fire. Easy to tell Garcia is in the zone. Lucid, flowing, and fabulous version.

Classic Eyes<China Doll. Nearly all of the versions from 73' are great, but this is one of the best.

Americana at its finest. Slow, mellow, rewarding, clean, polished, and homey. One of my favorites.

A case could be made for this being the finest version ever.

Pershing Municipal Auditorium

Love this Dick's Pick. 2/26 and 2/28 are two shows coming from a scaldingly good month of February 73'. Every show this month is worth checking out. Same could be said for the following month, but hey its all good. 73' is just classic as fuck. Also, too add, this Big River is smokin', Garcia tears apart the entire 4:30

Strong version here. Great show all around.

Yes, agree with the above statement. This show is worth checking out, and if anybody is scared away by the AUD, it is a shame. This show is certainly underrated, and the AUD is not that bad, once listening the sound quality wont matter as much because the performance will speak for itself.
