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

Assembly Hall, University Of Illinois

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

Hartford Civic Center

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'.

The Race Is On
Nov. 17, 1973
Pauley Pavilion - University of California

Things just barely don't get too thoughtful on this one. One of those familiarly pleasant times where the ethos of the cover tune and of the Dead interact logarithmically to produce the real deal; or, as some say, magic.
Cumberland Blues
Nov. 17, 1972
Century II Convention Hall

Parrot, you are definitely right--and I've also been unable to ID it. Sort of a tip of the tongue (brain?) sort of thing.
They Love Each Other

Huntington Civic Center

Charlie Boges, you are ultimately 100% right. I am ashamed of my fuddy duddiness. Every other TLEO leaves me wishing this was the solo.
Playin' In The Band

Adams Field House, U of Montana

Another reason why '74 might represent the apotheosis of the Playin' jam.

Wembley Empire Pool

Moonwalk-smooth transitions sandwiching the smell of leather and the sparkle of gold teeth. Great recording on 'Steppin' Out'.
