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.

DuPont Gym - MIT

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

Playin' In The Band

Onondaga County War Memorial

Peppier and jazzier than most post-hiatus, this one is a keeper in my book.
Let It Grow
Sept. 28, 1976
Onondaga County War Memorial

Yup, this one delivers as advertised. Phil's chunky bass licks in the opening measures signal this beast that keeps growing. Let it Grow!
Big River

Onondaga County War Memorial

This version smokes! Keith really lays down some heat on his solo. I appreciate Dick slating this show for release, but the energetic AUD source works better for this night.
Playin' In The Band

Baltimore Civic Center

More mellow than 3/16 or the ones from the previous month. There's a two minute segment in the middle where Keith takes the spotlight. Less gusto is made up for with more introspection and precision. A sleeper version for sure!
Eyes Of The World
April 2, 1973
Boston Garden

Yup, the coda is the story here. Extra spice n' spunk.
