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'.

Wharf Rat
Nov. 21, 1973
Denver Coliseum

The ‘El Paso’ is the mayo and this ‘Rat’ is the meat of this great PITB sandwich. Very well executed, with a cool outro. Incidentally, when did Donna first help out with vocals on the ‘I’ll get up and fly away’ portion?

A very nice sandwich. The PITB segments are all very good and full of interest. The ‘El Paso’ and ‘Wharf Rat’ contained herein are each good ones, particularly the ‘Wharf Rat’. The final ‘Playin’’ segment has a ‘Tiger Jam’ just before the reprise.

Phil and Bill lock in early and set this one up nicely. Is it a mellow intensity or an intense mellowness that pervades this one? Anyway, who cares? its good.

Limber and loose-limbed, this one is. May be the hottest from Fall '73.
