COMMENTS FROM DEADLISTS
The sound setup at this show was the first version of the
Wall of Sound. Sound mixing problems at the board during Promised
Land. According to reports from an eyewitness, this was the result of
half the speakers frying. Very brief splice during Looks Like Rain.
Complete Loose Lucy timing supercedes previous listing showing it cut
at 4:59. Splice in Playing In The Band at 8:38. Hard to tell how much
is missing although it can't be more than a few minutes and could be
only a few seconds. Splice in Truckin' at 6:23 (~6:20 on this source).
Could be a minute or two missing here.
The first Eyes has quite a bit of exploratory jamming without dropping
to that Dm riff (or whatever you want to call it), which is present to
some degree in all other known '73 versions of the song. Jerry plays
the chord on the final notes of the song before changing to China Doll.
By February 15, the change had been worked out.
The cut in Wave That Flag at 1:25 is missing a full chorus a after the
second verse. Before Sugar Magnolia, Bob says, " This one's our new
single, broke big as hell in Pittsburgh...that's the truth, too."
During Casey Jones, a blown amplifier is audible in the mix.

The show has the first performances of Loose Lucy, Here Comes Sunshine,
They Love Each Other, Eyes Of The World, China Doll and Wave That Flag.
Tape flips following Looks Like Rain, Here Comes Sunshine, They Love
Each Other, and Ramble On Rose. The following song begins, cuts and is
restarted on the next side.
This is a solid and energetic show, with each song getting as full a
performance as possible. A slew of new songs performed as though they
had been performed for years, particularly songs that would grow into
staples of sets.
