Summary

While this week's Deadpod may be one of the shorter 2nd sets of the year in 1973, there is still plenty to love in this week's setlist. The set opens with a wonderfully crafted Playin' in the Band, which leads into Row Jimmy and El Paso.. the Loose Lucy that follows has drawn complaints due to its slow tempo.. I also think this song works best when it bouncy, but the boys go into a pretty good Truckin' followed by a fabulous Other One.. that jam goes into a first-rate Wharf Rat.. wow.. when this song is done right there is nothing that comes close... the Me & Bobby McGee that comes out of it is a pleasant surprise.. The boys close with a rather perfunctory Casey Jones, but I'm left quite satisfied with this second set from a stellar year.. the fact that this is a first-rate recording adds to the pleasure. I hope you enjoy it as well..

0:00.0	Hello, and welcome to the Dead Pod for the week of February 28, 2014.
0:04.0	This is a professor I'm so glad to pick this up this week.
0:07.6	This week we get to hear the second set from the Dead's performance at the Universal
0:10.5	Amphitheatre in Los Angeles, California on July 1st, 1973.
0:17.7	While this second set's a little shorter than some from this year, it does contain moments of
0:22.0	profound beauty. I'll tell you the truth
0:23.8	ends and it's quite interesting all in all it starts out with a good solid
0:27.9	playing in the band row Jimmy El Paso then comes a loose Lucy which is much slower than usual. I don't think it works quite at that
0:36.2	tempo. Then a lovely truckin has some good leads and then they go into drums and the other one. The other one is really
0:46.7	interesting has a feedback segment in it which goes into a short Tiger jam as it's called. I think it's a really interesting jam during that part of the set.
0:57.0	This finally goes into a really nice warfrat. The warfrat goes into me and Bobby McGee. The boys close the set with
1:06.2	a Casey Jones. It's one of the shorter second sets of the year but certainly worth
1:10.8	hearing and certainly we've got a great recording of it on this
