I love this show and this Peggy-O, it is very special to me, Yes the speed is a tad off, I can confirm with my guitar, it's actually obvious, so long as you are tuned. The recording may be fast, but so is the band, compared to 77, 5-9-77 is great, as is 6-29-76, but this version is a classic. In the sound check it sounds as if the band is just learning the tune that night, you can here jerry point out the key to Keith, ( Keith ends up playing it in show as if it was his disertation in the…

First of all, another fantastic Soundboard from Charlie Miller (he's like a rock star in these parts you know...)! Donna is noticably absent from this show. The soundcheck is cool to hear, especially Jerry during Peggy-O, "that's a C there Keith". I gather since the chord structure was being learned during soundcheck, that this is the first performance of Peggy-O, I may be wrong. The drums are much faster than later versions of the song also. Another great '73 show for some Holiday Cheer!
