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

He's Gone

Grand Prix Racecourse

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.

Easy To Love You

Nassau Coliseum

Not my favorite song, but there's something pretty special about this crisp and confident version. Nice!
Looks Like Rain

Memorial Coliseum

Just incredible. This very creative, spontaneous version has any energy of its own.
New Minglewood Blues

Memorial Coliseum

Feisty version from a feisty show. Tuscaloosa is the fall '77-type show of spring '77.

A very strong, well-jammed version for the era.

Great jamming in the outro, and a lot of fire in the song proper. Terrific second set opener.
