Grateful Dead 1973-09-11

Quick review:
Tremendous "Looks like rain"! Also good: "The race is on" & "Loser", to name a few. The 14-minute "China > Rider" ain't too shabby either! ;)
Very, very cool "Playin' in the band" with some great jazz-funk-thing and a bit of wonderful interplay between Garcia & Keith, in addition to Garcia's ever-incredible solos! Set 2 features "Let Me Sing Your Blues Away" through "Let It Grow" with Joe Ellis on trumpet and Martin Fierro on saxophone, a new experience for me, as I haven't heard these "horned" fall '73 shows before. Gotta love it though, great solos in "Let It Grow". The "Dark Star" shines majestically and ends up with Phil doing some wonderful noisy soloing, which leads them directly into the always-welcome sweet and tender beauty of "Morning Dew".
