12-6-73 Cleveland Convention Center, Cleveland, OH

This is one pretty hot show even if the vocals are sometimes underpowered as Donna was missing and due to give birth so she skipped the shows after Winterland in November to stay home.

The show starts off with Jerry, Bobby and Phil giving it their all on Bertha. Mexicali Blues is a cool Cowboy Bob tune with Phil joining in on harmony. Loser is played very well with Jerry turning in some impressive licks with Keith playing some good counter point. Black-Throated Wind stands out even among '72 to '74 versions. They Love Each Other, Beat It On Down The Line, Deal, El Paso, Row Jimmy and Greatest Story Ever Told are all played very well but Beat It On Down The Line, Row Jimmy and Greatest Story all suffer from Donna's absence. China Cat Sunflower->I Know You Rider is very good and features that cool '73-'74 jam while a good Around And Around ends the set.

The second half starts with upbeat versions of Ramble On Rose and Me And My Uncle. Here Comes Sunshine has a nice jam in it and stretches out nicely. Big River, like most '73-'74 versions is very lively. Dark Star is VERY long and nicely jammed out traveling many universes and visiting alien landscapes before falling into Eyes Of The World which is well jammed although missing Donna's voice. A very sweet Stella Blue flows out of Eyes and goes into Sugar Magnolia with Bob handling the Sunshine Daydream on his own while the slams away behind him.
