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!

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.

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

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.

The sbd source is good, the aud source is better, but the matrix source is choice - best of both worlds. Check it!

Tonight's version has never been a favorite of mine, but I can tip a hat to its daring and artistic achievements.

From an epic show! This Playin' suite is raw funk-jazz-rock fusion at its dirtiest. Not for the faint of heart or timid of mind! Sublime stuff here.
