Powerful and incandescent. I’ll admit Peggy-O can sometimes bore me, but not this one!

Don't let sound quality issues prevent you from hearing this. As fresh and crisp as any of the other fine He's Gones from spring and summer.

They end up running through the “solo” section twice. Both times are as hot as you would expect for ’73.

Brent goes funky with his solo, then Jerry goes lyrical.

What sounds like a momentary Let It Grow tease in Space, if you’re listening for something in particular. Powerful and pure Grateful Dead.

Good god!!! This is incredible.

Felt compelled to note — the Prelude > Part 1 is exceptional. (Nothing against the Let It Grow, of course!)

Virtually note perfect … and yes, Jerry’s in great voice, as he is throughout this underrated tour.

Avant-garde even by the standards of 1972. What a beautiful mindfuck. I just love it.

I’m on an upvoting spree this first set, which is to say — it’s all so good. Don’t skip any of the short songs on the way to the big jams.
