Promised Land
March 16, 1973
Nassau Coliseum

A charged version that starts off a triple-thread run for this massive second set.

Veterans' Memorial Coliseum

This deserves to be on the map!

Deal
March 15, 1973
Nassau Coliseum

It swings to a funky swagger; Jerry is in top form here. I think it's the best Deal from the spring '73 tour!

Deal
Dec. 18, 1973
Curtis Hixon Convention Hall

It struts & swaggers in that honey, country-tinged '73 way that we've come to relish & rely on. From one of the best shows from one of the best years.

Easy Wind

DuPont Gym - MIT

A version all true heads should love, or at least hear once.

Cumberland Blues
June 30, 1973
Universal Amphitheatre

An underrated version from an underrated show.
Cumberland Blues
Nov. 14, 1973
San Diego International Sports Arena

The show's highlight in my opinion. I can think of a couple versions that might be nearly as good as this Cumberland, but none that are better.
Here Comes Sunshine
Nov. 14, 1973
San Diego International Sports Arena

Here Comes Sunshine? 1973? Yes Please. Still, as some have pointed out, it's probably not among the very best of the lot. I'll place 11/17, 11/30, 12/6, 12/19 & 2/23/74 above this one. But it must be said that this version still contains some inspired jamming!
Scarlet Begonias

Cobo Arena

Quintessential '76 sound.
Not Fade Away
Oct. 3, 1976
Cobo Arena

The transition out of the "Dancin' Jam" into this N.F.A is in the pocket and seamless. Your toes are gonna tap.
