The jam during this blows me away every time. Pure psychedelic bliss. An argument could easily be made that this is the definitive version.

Manhattan Center

Powerful and driving blues jam, with a unique ending. Garcia tears this one up, and Lesh provides a great hollow bass sound.

Off the rails, intense blues jamming.

Eyes Of The World

Orlando Arena

Relaxed, controlled, and tight. Garcia owns this one.

New Minglewood Blues

Avalon Ballroom

Insane early version. Weir goes off on the vocals, and there is some energetic old time Dead jamming.

Big River

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.
