Deal
March 15, 1973
Nassau Coliseum

It swings to a funky swagger; Jerry is in top form here. I think it's the best Deal from the spring '73 tour!

Deal

Curtis Hixon Convention Hall

It struts & swaggers in that honey, country-tinged '73 way that we've come to relish & rely on. From one of the best shows from one of the best years.

Easy Wind

DuPont Gym - MIT

A version all true heads should love, or at least hear once.

Monkey and the Engineer
Dec. 31, 1970
Winterland Arena

Jerry's sweet voice is extra sweet & clear during the chorus for this version than the ones from October, 1980.

Mason's Children
Jan. 24, 1970
Honolulu Civic Auditorium

Monster Mason's. Can't believe this one isn't here yeat. Cleanest, most coherent version. Jerry's guitar tone is pure gold.

Cameron Indoor Stadium, Duke U

This one shines, sparkles, dazzles. Among the very best of the era.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Dec. 18, 1973
Curtis Hixon Convention Hall

Light, breezy, jazzy. The sound of a sibling to the 11/11 version.
Me and My Uncle
Dec. 18, 1973
Curtis Hixon Convention Hall

An all-time favorite. Indeed, it's all about Keith's barrelhouse chops!
Wharf Rat

Curtis Hixon Convention Hall

One of the best of '73 for sure. It's the icing on the cake from an engrossing second set. Tampa got lucky this night and the next night.
Eyes Of The World

Curtis Hixon Convention Hall

I can't add to what the above heads have already said. Top-shelf!
