Completely overlooked UC Davis show that exists only on an aud. But this version smokes.

Unusual (and nicely done) transition into Truckin'.

God this is a wonderful version.

Both this and the Good Loving that precedes it on 5/25 are unique for the tour to my ears -- much more laid back than usual.

The 3 1/2-minute tune-up/walk-in jam ...before the song even starts! ... is one of my favorite moments of '73 Dead.

Way overlooked, way underrated.

This version was the only Dead song my father ever said he liked. (His tastes tended toward George Shearing.) That's good enough for me to boost it.
