12
Dark Star
Awesome jazzy Star from an underrated show
4
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Snazzy light and tight. China's melody is a traipsing psychadelic counterpoint, a perfect trans into Rider. Good vibes.
11
Playin' In The Band
Exploratory simmering energy. Phil and Jerry co-soloing on a high plane of endless inspiration. Not a barn-burner, but smooth and abstract.
6
Brokedown Palace
Musical and sweet with great harmonies. Brilliant show with many great, mellow versions of their '73 setlist.
4
Sugar Magnolia
The sugar's sweet - but the daydream just blows everything else away with joy.
4
Greatest Story Ever Told
Keith & Donna do their thing, and Jerry gets in some nasty licks. Jam at the end is sick.
4
Tennessee Jed
Typically strong Jed from 73'
9
Eyes Of The World
