Amazing that this one isn't here. Keith's first show, Pigpen absent.

Keith really adds some intensity. Do you know where your train is at 2am?

I can't believe this one isn't here. Short but very sweet.

Pretty good except the harmony vocals aren't that great. I prefer RFK, which right now is rated lower.

Here's what Dick Latvala had to say about this on July 5, 1997 in a newsgroup (remember those, anyone?): 3) Whoops! I almost forgot something very special: 2/19/73- Chicago ( excerpt) I have only found a cassette of Bear's that had a very stunning, if not shocking, jam that goes: He's Gone-> Truckin'->jam->The Other One-> Eyes of the World-> China Doll that simply has to be heard to be understood how good things can get!!!

Has anyone mentioned the transition? (Just kidding!). I guess they never did this combo again to save on Jerry's voice?
