Subject: -- Another great '73....you have to double-take to remember there is **no** Playin', Dark Star, nor Other One in this show, and yet everything here is immensely satisfying. Bertha goes through a bit of sound adjustment; just stay with it. The rest of the highlights abound -



*Listen to Bobby on Jed!

*Eyes > China Doll is easily the highlight of the show for me - listen to how ice-cold that 'flat' jam rolls along - :::wow:::

*NFA's jam wows again - don't take this closer for granted!



This one remains a good lament for Pigpen, if you're looking for one to hear in the days following his death. I prefer now the matrix Kevin Tobin uploaded and remastered - it takes care of some of the much-needed patches in Truckin', LLR, etc. - September 8, 2017--

Subject: dick picked it



http://www.agitators.com/gd/dick_1973.html



Dick loved this one I guess, and though I beg to differ on 11/8/69, this time, like 80% of the time, he was quite right.



I had a high-gen cassette back in the 90s based on his plug, and found that I could not get behind it. The show left me cold. After careful consideration of this version, I see what he meant. Every tune seems to have the little bit extra, and it's possible to hear Weir pretty well, which matters.



Toast to the man If you came to this show, it has to be because you checked out Dick's blog. It wasn't the setlist.

Subject: Jerry is especially awake and alert during "Eyes" At certain points during "Eyes", Jerry steps on Weir with his own between-verse guitar solos. The effect, on headphones, is superb, especially since this mix has plenty of Jerry and Bobby in their respective channels.



This has to be one of the most underrated pre-1975 shows - September 25, 2013Jerry is especially awake and alert during "Eyes"

Subject: What a Superb Show Just piping in my two cents here.



I loved this one. The energy is great, and the playing is really just spot on.



The recording, very nice. Very good instrument separation and clean.

Yet just slightly "aged". I really like this sound, and this show.



What a terrific first set. - December 7, 2010What a Superb Show

Subject: what's not to like... about this hot and underrated show? not much i can find. yes, there's no Dark Star, Other One or Playin' but it should not be faulted for that; the jamming on almost every song is great. highlights are short but potent Let It Grow, a funky GSET, a hypnotic He's Gone, a Bluesy Truckin' and a slinky NFA>GDTRFB.



also, i distinctly hear horns very far in the background (Martin Fierro?) on LIG but this dosen't seem to be listed as a horns show..surprised no one else has mentioned it. - September 15, 2010what's not to like...

Subject: Different yet magnificent! I can understand why some people don't like this show: it's unique !



Having listened to pretty much every circulating show from '65 to '73 I can say this one stands out as being truly magnificent.



Jerry is playing better than ever, coming up with new stuff all the time.



Bobby _really_ amazed me for the first time - I'm not a Weir fan yet in this show he does some exceptional stuff. At one point Jerry lets him play solo for what seems an eternity --> I couldn't believe my ears (I guess Jerry couldn't either).



Keith also does some very cool stuff...



And the sound quality is top-grade!

What else do you need? - March 4, 2009Different yet magnificent!

Subject: hey this one is great. i don't think it is lacking any energy at all. for those of you who say it is you are oh so wrong. sugaree, eyes of the world and the line up starting with china cat and ending with truckin' is so good. this show has a lot of energy. it was pigpens birthday, i don't think they were sad and not playing as good because of it, they were playing remarkable probubly in memory of pig penn.

excellent show - October 25, 2007hey

Reviewer: On The Bus - favorite favorite favorite favorite favorite - October 7, 2007

Subject: Top of the Line After downloading dozens of shows this concert rates as an ultimate listening experience. The tempo is upbeat; The playing is tight; And the tracks are elongated into gem-quality, melodic (psychedelic) jam sessions which I particularly enjoy as a jazz enthusiast. Paring out a few songs, concentrating primarily on Jerry, this show pulls me in like few others.



Compared against Kennedy Stadium (73-06-10) and Roscoe Maples Pavilion (73-02-09), both excellent show, there is a definite sense to convey a mellow, silvery sound, sending listeners into a transcending state rather than just providing them the usual line-up. I like this concert as a favorite because, to me, it represents a demarcation point where the band transforms from a good band into a great one. They're no longer diamonds in the rough.



Of my favorite ''Dead'' concerts is the Jerry Garcia Band at the Keystone (77-07-23) - a truly reggae affair. This concert sits right next to it in the line-up. - October 7, 2007Top of the Line

Reviewer: L. Rosley - favorite favorite favorite favorite - August 14, 2005

Subject: Check out He's Gone I don't have a problem with the set list. Not every show needs to have Dark Star or The Other One. Having the complete Weather Report Suite is a treat. The WRS of Sept. 11 is better, however.



There is an occasion mistake, including the entire Sing Your Blues Away (Jerry and Bob can't seem to figure out what to play). Eyes lacks the energy of other performance from this year.



But a good show overall with a relaxed groove, with good sound. This show has my favorite He's Gone (so far), which slips nicely into a decent Truckin'->(a mellow)Not Fade Away->GDTRFB(fine until the final vocals)->NFA(mercifully short). I would have been happy at this show. - August 14, 2005Check out He's Gone

Reviewer: skwimite - favorite favorite favorite favorite - July 11, 2005

Subject: warm and fuzzy This is a really fine mellow show. Nice Eyes>China Doll, allowing for a few flubs. GSET is not totally ruined by Donna(also beware of GDTRFB, OMSN), but I'd be remiss not to mention Let Me Sing Your Blues Away, which is truly a group effort. It's not often one gets to hear such a lousy song, sung terribly, and played worse by a great band in an otherwise great show. Striking! They immediately redeem themselves with a smooth and tasty China Cat > Rider. I don't see this one as a 5, but a strong 4. - July 11, 2005warm and fuzzy

Subject: A Wonderful Show It is so great to be able to go back and listen again to shows one was at. Thanks to everyone who makes this possible.



Gov. Rockefeller was trying to prove to the public he was just as tough on drugs as anyone. The night before there had been a number of possession busts (many of them off-duty NYPD as I recall) and the scene was tense, but the energy level of the band replaced that with a very solid groove.



The huge Skull and Roses banner towered above the band and the playing was just fantastic. Hard to think of a better 'Uncle' from that period. Phil and Bobby have a complete mind-synch going on so many tunes. Everyone sounded great and a good time was had by all! - June 29, 2005A Wonderful Show

Subject: Sugarsnack Damn, this is sweet. The band was firing on all cylinders on this night. I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Billy and Bobby do not get nearly the accolades they deserve. They lock down a tight groove in this show, a night in which the tempo may have been a bit slow but the simmering tension was a perfect acrobatic balance. A sweet tease. Despite the seemingly unspectacular setlist, this one is among my top 10 for 1973. - August 19, 2004Sugarsnack
