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'.

Woops! Sorry, CC--I meant to say 12/15/72.

I haven't listened to it in a while but, if I remember right, 12/10/72 Long Beach has also got a long red carpet rolled out for DS.

I should also say that there is no IKYR here, as is sometimes erroneously listed.

Apparently, they also played TIFTOO and Dancin' in the Streets (among, obviously, others) at this long show. And by most accounts they blew the lid off the place. The boys sure did have a thing for Wisconsin! Check out these links...

And that pocket sure is deep! I always loved Bobby urging everyone to get up and shake it as Jerry comes in with authority for the big jam. Also, the way they play the 'Tighten' Up' jam in this one is, as I remember (been a few moons since I heard this one), quite different than say, 6/24/70 or 10/31/71--less ecstatic and more angular? Great stuff!
