Deserves to be mentioned in the same breath as the other punchy, galloping ’77s.

Alexandra Palace

If you’re like me, you love the intensity of these ’74 Jack Straws. This one is not to be missed.

Swinging funk akin to a ’73 TLEO. Different and sharply played.

Uptown Theatre

Jerry’s playing with amazing ease and fluidity. One shimmering melody after another.

Boston Garden

Played fast, sounding almost triumphant. Very cleanly played with some attention-grabbing Jerry.

Playin' In The Band

Pacific Coliseum

Oh wow. One of the very best jams I've heard from summer '73. Covers a lot of ground — hard to believe it's only 18 minutes.

Some stellar contributions from Keith here -- but I guess the same could be said for most '73 Dead.

Mid-song jamming breaks are unusually long. Lovely and relaxed.

Just keeps going and going! Jerry tears this one up! Insane, really. And... it's back on Archive as of April 2015. :-)

Jerry just burns this sucker to the ground. Wowee zowee.
