This version here has completely changed my perception of the song, one my new favorite versions, the jamming is concise and focused. Good call here.

Winterland Arena

Clean is the appropriate term here, this is as clean as possible, I can definitively say this deserves its spot.

Utica Memorial Auditorium

Second all thoughts above, this is a DS that provides adequate room for contemplative listening, a jazz-infused visual piece, worth listening.
Turn On Your Love Light

Fillmore East

Hey my man, no worries, but it looks like you've made a common mistake, the Lovelight is from 2/13 not 2/14.
Eyes Of The World
Feb. 15, 1973
Dane County Coliseum

Laid back, mellow, jazzy, and the ultimate zenith of what makes this band so great. Bring this version out whenever its time to prove the Grateful Dead to somebody, if they take the time to listen, they will get it. In certainty, I "got it" once again listening to this version, and urge all who have managed to escape hearing this one to throw on some high-quality headphones and dedicate a relaxed hour to hear the mind-bending jam sequence featured in this 2nd set. I have all conclusive evidence from this show alone, let alone many more, to label 1973 as a top top year in the Grateful Dead's repertoire of 30.
