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'.

Tremendous flow from one theme to another, and then it falls nicely into Stella. A bit low on the list, I'd say.

Indeed, not a great rendereing per se, but it is definitely very cool when you hear those chords come banging in to kick this one off right after the Wolfman got the crowd to 'Light up'. And Jerry nails the Wolfman part, too. Definitely heady.

Part of a great sequence. Jerry does a good job of singing his way through the lyrics that he temporarily can't seem to recall.

If we count the lengthy jam at the end of this one (which we do around these parts), then this one is really, really good. The jam even has a fleshed out WRS Prelude (it's really not WRS--that was months away from its premier) that gets a little jam spread on it. It then gives way to more jamming. This is really good stuff. But start with the He's Gone first and let the whole sequence play through.

Very nice version featuring good singing, sweet fills from Keith, and gentle power from Jerry on the outro jam. Part of a great sequence, as well.
