Raw and raucous, this one packs quite a wallop for its size.

A mellow version featuring a rather unique outro portion for ’73. Truckin’>Eyes>Stella

One of those ‘I can’t believe it’s not here yet’s. This thing was forged from hot iron.

The satisfying conclusion of a good sequence. A sibling of 11/13/72.

Bobby is pretty good on this one. It's right after 'Promised Land'.

Mexicali Blues

Oakland Auditorium

Better than most and as good as any. Jerry is a veritable confetti-making machine with his young 'Tiger'.

Wow! This thing is definitely waaaaay underrated, neglected, whatever you want to call it, on these pages. Has a unique and cool buildup at the big swell and release portion and the outro jam, dubbed the 'Wood Green Jam' on DP 7 (which might just be the most underrated DP), might just be my personal favorite--it's one of those proto-trance-type jams but with a little bit of an Olde World flavor to it. Wood Green, London, indeed. Oh yeah, and hats off to DP for tracking jam segments.

I'm really looking forward to spending some time with this version and show once I get my paws on this July '78 box. Just out of curiosity, where does this one stand next to the fine version from Dave's 15, Nashville?

Years into the existence of this website and I'm proud to be vote number two on this one.

Good for chasing the beer that chased the Jack Dandy.
