Subject: Sweet Memories! This was my third show, (yes, I'm getting old) -I'd already been enveloped in the joy of the day before, got some good photos that day. Sunday was a very special afternoon and night- I'll never forget it. The performance live was definately better than what you get from the SNBDs loaded here. They were so ON I was in heaven. I drifted here and there only about 30 ft. from the stage, dead center. Listening to the first few bars of this Morning Dew again literally gives me goosebumps. The day before was amazing, and I hardly expected them to surpass it, but they did.

I'm a big fan of Birdsong, largely for the jams they did within it, and this one is the longest I know of...beautifully rendered. Playin'ITB follows to end the first set, and by this time it was completely dark...and we all got a mind-blowing surprise. Right when the final bars of Playin' started, the finale, someone (Healy?) in the sound booth out in the audience set off some major fireworks high into the night sky. So, during the final chords of the song, we get this visual extravaganza, everybody with their heads tilted back, gazing up in major euphoria.

Even though a bit of the magic from how extremely "together" they were is lost in these recordings, it's still a great stream, especially Charlie's transfer. Buy yourself a really good desktop stereo if you haven't already, and enjoy! - June 7, 2020Sweet Memories!

After all these years, it's still one of the two best shows I ever saw from any artist. The "regular" portion of the show was so good that the jam with most of the ABB was almost an anticlimax. Almost, but not quite... - May 18, 2020Best show ever?

Subject: This is The One!! Possibly the greatest show the Grateful Dead ever played. This is a 3-set, 4-CD monster with so many great jams. Highlights include a passionate Morning Dew to kick it off, Birdsong, Playin', a very long Eyes, Here Comes Sunshine, and of course, Dark Star. The end of the second set isn't really any slouch either. But wait! There's a whole hour-long set coming with members of the Allman Brothers Band, who played earlier that evening, joining in on a collection of covers that includes a 13 min+ hot take on the Kings' "That's All Right, Mama." The sound is great, too -- this is the rare 73-74 soundboard where you can easily hear all the instruments, including Bob's guitar. - April 20, 2020This is The One!!

Everyone's in top form here. Jerry's prob mixed a tad high here for my taste on the jams, but it's not like he's playing wrong notes or anything. Bobby's flanged guitar sound is the juicy peach, spurtin all over the place. Jerry tries to decoratively lay his creamy wah on top and succeeds often enough ....

Subject: A Personal Favorite



A particularly brain melting Playin' with one of the best Eyes ever performed following. Eyes is very jazzy and upbeat with crisp keys providing the perfect background for Jerry to play to. The keys are so prominent it's almost approaching ragtime. This is exactly what makes 73 great though, there's such a variety in the playing. It seems almost wrong to love the keys so much especially because this show is so close to Pigpen's death in the Dead's chronology. His death, while a somber event, marked the point at which the Dead were really able to explore their sound without being pushed in a blues/ rock n roll direction instead of their preferred psychedelic sound.



For me, the highlight of the show is Dark Star. Jerry's playing is bouncy with the perfect amount of echo. Phil is definitely on phire in this Star. Another jazzy rendition as well. I want to point out the incredible jam starting around 6 minutes but really picking up at 7:30. My first time hearing this Dark Star I was absolutely blown away by this playing. I stopped what I was doing, turned it up all the way, and just let those chords pass right through me. Easily one of the most unique jams in a Dark Star. Reminiscent of Allman Bros in my opinion, interestingly enough they were actually at this show and joined them for the third set. Phil takes off around 10 minutes with Jerry's notes seeming to fall from the sky and land like droplets onto Phil's sea of almost tangible bass notes. Gosh, another great moment that just screams Allman Bros is at 12 minutes and ends when they get into the song at



The crowd claps along to He's Gone, totally into it. Again Phil's bass slaps me in the face at the 10 minute mark in this song. I'm not quite sure what the loud cracking noise that pops up occasionally throughout this show- sounds almost like a slapstick or even fireworks. Regardless, the jam into Wharf Rat is just as beautiful as this particular rendition.



Once again the crowd claps and sings along as the band breaks into a quick paced Truckin'. Sugar Magnolia, as opposed to some other performances, is well developed and pretty tight. No matter what Sugar Mag puts me in a good mood. The set ends with Promised Land. For me, no top show from 73 is lacking in a killer Chuck Berry song.



The whole third set with the Allman Bros is a classic in my opinion. Warren Zevon once said, "Enjoy every sandwich" and the NFA>GDTRFB>NFA from this show is certainly a sandwich to be enjoyed.



All in all an excellent show. One that appeals to all sorts of Deadheads who all have their own favorite eras and songs. Likewise, this is a show which seems to appeal to all sorts of music lovers. The Dead transition so fluidly from rock riffs to jazz grooves to spacey, surrealist jams in this show it will make most people smile at one point or another. I was left smiling almost the whole show, for that I award it 5 stars. 1973 is one of my favorite Dead era's and this show is a great representation of this year. The first set has a diverse mix of songs. Morning Dew kicked off the night and the energy level continued to grow with BIODTL. I dig any Wave That Flag simply because of the contextual importance it had to the Dead's repertoire, eventually becoming US Blues.A particularly brain melting Playin' with one of the best Eyes ever performed following.

Gosh, another great moment that just screams Allman Bros is at 12 minutes and ends when they get into the song at 13:30 or so. The band settles into a nice groove here as Jerry sings the first verse. I love how Phil becomes the focus at so many points during this song, especially at 17 minutes. The 20 minute mark turns a little spastic and takes them into a really bizarre, abstract jam that solicits one or two yells from heads in the crowd (maybe they knew an excellent He's Gone was up next) but doesn't do much for me personally. With that being said, this top performance of Dark Star comes to a subtle close and the band creeps into He's Gone.The crowd claps along to He's Gone, totally into it.

Thanks for taking me way back to the days of yore, where up in northern Minnesota, closer to Canada than Saint Paul, we knew when we saw the Northern Lights it meant we could drive out of town to the woods somewhere and drink, smoke and tune into AM Rock-N-Roll from Chicago Land Radio...while taking the local radio likes of Merle Haggard, Johnny Cash and Loretta Lynn for granted, but HEY MAN it was PARTY TIME!!!...so OK, very local: you had to be quiet cuz it didn't sound so good loud on car radio broadcasting 800 miles away, plus sounds carry over water, ice, all year, sister, and who wants to be busted, etc...

But, after they finished their set, it was followed by a MONUMENTAL JAM with a compilation of some of the BEST MUSIC EVER PERFORMED!!! I was one of the lucky few who got to see The Allman Brothers open for The Grateful Dead at The Fillmore East in Feb. of 1970 and again in March of 1971, with Duane when they recorded the famous "Live at the Fillmore East".

Subject: Dead Allman Show We drove down from UMASS. Saturday Dead came on mid afternoon it was hot as heck bright sun 90's. Early in the set a lady climbed up on stage and handed Jerry a big red rose stem. Jerry put it between his death playing "Deal". IT was truly a love fest no problems or violnece. The people on the infield were baking in the hot sun they turned on the fire hoses and began spraying the crowd. We moved up into the stands under the roof out of the sun.

Allmans came on that evening and played a great set. Sunday Wet Willie then Allmans then Dead.

Betts and Trucks? joined the Dead about mid night and jammed for another 1 1/2 hours. A lot of the crowd had left we moved down right in front of the stage. Jerry was just plucking away looking into the eyes of Dickie never once at his own guitar just that big smile and rolling eyes. It was wild. Our ride had to leave before midnight to return his fathers car so he could get to work. We slept on the grass outside the stadium that night. 4 am on a Sunday night and there are these little kids on bicycles riding around chit chatting with us. We managed to get a ride to NYC the next morning from a kid that had slept in his car all night. Hitched back to UMass from NYC.

A lot of people might criticize this show but the temps were so hot and the cavernous stadium does not allow for great acoustics. The show was memorable and fantastic. The indoor shows from that era had better sound but not the spirit of this event. IMHO the Dead were at their best from 1971 - 1977. Although I never saw them pre 1971. - October 17, 2010Dead Allman Show

Subject: i change my vote Well this is one of the first shows i ever got from the archive (along with 5/9/77) and while i loved it, after many careful listens, i've come to realize that this isn't quite as good as i once thought...the band is just having a pretty off night for the most part. now i don't mind a few tiny flubs here and there, but when they are making so many obvious mistakes (such as in Ramble on Rose, Row Jimmy, Bird Song and Eyes) and are just downright sloppy (Truckin') i hesitate to call this a great show.



I don't want to completely dump on this one though, there are certainly many great moments, such as the monumental versions of Playing in the Band and Dark Star found here, some of the best of the year. Phil is fantastic in both.



The Dark Star especially is wonderful, where he takes a long solo. After Lesh's solo comes a really unique passage with him and jerry driving the band towards a very melodic and jazzy jam right before the 1st verse.



And there are also really nice versions of Here Comes Sunshine, Stella Blue, Hes Gone, and also They Love Each Other, which i mentioned in my previous review.



The 3rd set with the Allmans is what elevates this show to 4 star material, containing classic jams including the only That's Alright Mama and a great NFA>GDTRFB.





But like i said before, this show is a perfect example of why Spring and Fall '73 are so much better than Summer. - May 20, 2010i change my vote

Sweetmp3, I was there with two vans full of friends, and we all saw that rainbow in the mist of the tiny cloud, and the music seemed to respond to the sight. I also saw a few lighting bolts, but that's sleep deprivation. There were problems very early Sun. morning, people running around the outside walk of the stadium and lot of yelling for help ? We were with out phones then, and it was a ghetto, so we hunkered down in the vans. Great show though, Wet Willie, whew, he really soaked his satin outfit, Crazy dude, blew us all away, when we were peaking. I remember taping the faucet on the very top row with a small vice grip. It was hot and muggy, and the garbage trucks down below looked like giant cockroaches come to nibble on the stadium, and the uneven roof looked like it was slowly revolving. It had to be the second day for the rainbow, because we were in front of Dicky Betts and Greg the day before sipping on johnny walker red. - March 8, 2010Rainbow was real!

Subject: a treasure Surprising how hyper-critical many are of this show. Decades ago I enjoyed the 'best of' compilation on the two 90-min cassettes that were commonly traded (with the filler of a couple repeats from the same show--anyone remember this?!?). Listening to the full show for the first time was incredible. Agreed, the first set has few memorable moments: Jerry's improv on Wave is a lot of fun and Race is a treat. The second set features stunning renditions of Eyes and Sunshine. As for the third set, sure, Dick(e)y Betts isn't Duane Allman. And Keith isn't Tom; Brent isn't Pig Pen, etc. BFD. Could you ask for a better That's Alright Mama??? And that's only the warm-up for a 21-min NFA-GDTRFB with Jerry and Dickey trading solos as if they've played together their entire lives. Wow!

They really do slaughter Ramble, and half of Row Jimmy, though the latter they pull together nicely at the end. Somebody said Lazy...and I have to agree, at least the first half of the show. Certainly not the apathy we've come to expect from an otherwise energetic year.



But, we take the good with the bad. This show is as much about quantity as anything. What band plays 30+ songs in a night? And don't count those new garbage radio emo kids' bands whose songs are all 3 minutes long and lip synced.



Good Train to Cry, nice, exploratory Eyes, and great but brief Race is On. All in all, A+, for effort if nothing else.

Subject: Overhyped but good show Good show, but far from being the best show from '73. The hype surrounding this show is a bit much. The sound is sometimes a little iffy and the band's performance on some of the material isn't all that. Not that it's bad mind you, far from it, but the first set is fairly average with only Bird Song and Playin' being stand outs. You can skip all the other songs and you wouldn't be missing much. The band picks up some steam for the second set which is much better than the first and contains some real gems. The third set with Dicky Betts and Butch Trucks is smoking. Maybe people really like this show because of it's marathon length and all the extra booklets/artwork it comes with? Which I find pretty cool myself. But as far as quality goes it's somewhere in the middle of the pack for 1973. I was initially disappointed because of all the hype this show gets, but what the hell? It's definitely worth a listen and I'm glad I was lucky enough to get it before the Archive stopped soundboard downloading. Check out 2/15, 2/22, 3/24, 5/26 and 11/17 for some more kick ass playing.

Enjoy! Another way to retain this show for your continued pleasure is based on something someone said previously. Copy and paste this into your browser:When the transfer starts, make note of the server (it's ia200033.eu.archive.org ). FTP to that server; you'll find several folders, numbered 0,1,2,3 etc - the one we're looking for is in folder 2. Scroll down a little through the various shows until you get to the folder labeled gd73-06-10. Highlight the tracks you want (in my case VBR MP3, but there are other choices) and then transfer them to whatever folder you want.Enjoy! - July 23, 2006Great Show!

Subject: Allman Bros without Duane = Grateful Dead without Jerry Really, I'm not trying to be a wise-ass, but I swear that this is the most downloaded show becasue people see "Allman Brothers" and don't realize Duane had died back in Oct. of 1971. Kinda like going to see "The Dead" thinking Jerry gone's be there. I'm sure people in attendance had a different experience than those of us just listening to these recordings, but there are just so many other shows in '73-'74 in which the recording is enough to nourish one's heart and soul --- for me this one just cannot compete with all the other gems. However, anytime Jerry sings "It Takes a Lot to Laugh..." deserves at least a three rating. -- AshesRising - June 25, 2006Allman Bros without Duane = Grateful Dead without Jerry

Subject: Good, not the best. As a fan of the Dead and the Allman Brothers, I think this show is kind of neat to hear, but I agree with the reviewers below; the sound quality is subpar for a '73 board, and neither band is at their best. For the Dead at their best that year, check out 2/9, 5/26, 9/11, 11/11, 11/17... I could go on. - May 23, 2006Good, not the best.

I will say that the 2nd set picks up a bit and there are great performances of Eyes of the World and Dark Star. I was actually jamming right along through He's Gone and then came Wharf Rat. This is without a doubt the worst performance of this song that I've heard.



The 3rd set (4th disc) has some memorable moments and some excellent jamming starting with "That's Allright Mama". This set really is excellent and is worth listening to or obtaining.



Overall, although there are some gems in this show (Eyes, Star, 3rd set jams), as a whole it is a poor performance with poor sound. I'm glad I have it for the few songs that really stand out. This show has gone from 4 discs to a 2 disc "highlights" disc for me.



2-star rating. For me, an "average" Dead show is worth 2.5 stars (not that average isn't worth listening to). Overall, start to finish, this show as a whole is below average. The first set gets no star, the 2nd gets 2.5 and the third gets 4.5, so in sum it's about a 2-star show with some outstanding highlights. I agree with bradcheng a few reviews ago, I don't really see what all the fuss is about with this show. I was really stoked when I downloaded this based on the excellent reviews. After the first few songs I was disappointed but kept listening. This lasted throughout just about the entire first set (with a few exceptions - They Love Each Other, Bird Song). I found the sound quality to be poor, maybe the worst quality I have heard from the archives and I have over 300 discs of GD music from archive.org . I also found the playing uninspired.I will say that the 2nd set picks up a bit and there are great performances of Eyes of the World and Dark Star.

Subject: start of the long strange trip I was 17 and was turned on to the Dead by an older brother (among other things)who wanted to go to these two shows. They played two days at RFK. Wet Wille, Allman Brothers and the Grateful Dead. The Dead closed one night and the Allman Brothers closed the next. I'm not sure which order. I of course had listen to the Dead on albums and " eight track " but never live. Eroupe '72 was the latest album. To say the least I was hooked. The jam with both bands on "First There is a Mountain" was a show stopper. As luck would have it I moved to Hampton Virginia in '76 and was lucky enough to see every show the Dead ( or Warlocks in '89, killer Dark Star,) ever played there. So this set brings back alot of good memories for a 50 year old Deadhed. The Wall Of Sound the Dead used in ' 73 added to the experience.

Subject: Everyone has a first GD show! This was the first Gratefule Dead show for my wife and I. We got married a week later.



The show was enhanced for both of us and my mind was completely blown apart by the music. I had no idea why the music souned so strange at the time but Phil had his guitar wired each string to four huge stacks of speakers about 70 yards from the stage. He played with the stadium echo during Playing in the Band and I haven't been the same since. I can't speak for the experience of my wife but an interesting story evolved that day.





You did not need a ticket because after the Deadheads got in some of them opened the other gates. The stadium ultimately ran out of food so we tried to leave to eat during the break. When we got to one of the gates, a rent-a-cop says, "Where are you going?" Both of us freaked, turned around and walked back into the crowd. These rent-a-cops were riding around the RFK stadium on scooters and all Heads were toasted. It was scary and in our enhanced state we thought that they had decided to keep us all here for observation or something. We actually found a pay phone, called home to tell a friend who was to arrive for the show the next day and informed his girlfriend's uncle that they won't let you leave when once you get into the show.



A while later we found another gate to our liking and the guy let us leave as long as we knew we couldn't return. Out in the parking lot we managed to get lost, asked directions of another Deadhead who spouted something unintelligable that made perfect sense, we drove around the lot together our car and his in a vast maze. My wife to be were lost in that lot long enough to see before we left that there was a single cloud over RFK with a rainbow running through it.



I have only been able to verify the truth of this story with my wife of thirty three years this June. Sweetmd3 -- March 14, 2006Everyone has a first GD show!

Subject: great, great show this show is absolutely worth the download (if they get it running again like phil said they would!!)... it's got a few flaws (like the first part of BIODTL is missing), but it's a huge ass show, it's well played and its got a lot of heart. has one of my favorite jams in "it's alright mama". GET THIS if they put it up again, otherwise they might make an album out of it. - December 16, 2005great, great show

Best part of shows like these is I turned it on this morning at My old friend Robert T used to tell me about being at this show. God rest your soul Robert. How's the weed in heaven.Best part of shows like these is I turned it on this morning at 7:30 when I got to work. Listening in between conference calls and interviews and meetings. In the background on some of the calls. It's now 3:30 and I feel like i've gone through the whole trip and deserve the big rock and roll finale. and maybe something cold in the parking lot is waiting for me. and Robert. - October 20, 2005This one's for Robert

The third set can certainly be a stand alone show of covers.

Everything about this show is pure brilliance. - October 17, 2005.............

The ABB's sets aren't as flawlessly executed as The Dead's, but they're worth having all the same.



cheers I'm not going to add to anything that's been said about this show...the music speaks for itself & anyone who cares about American music ought to own this show. It's worth mentioning, and I hope archive.org doesn't have a policy against this, that the good folks at Sugarmegs -- tela.sugarmegs.org -- have the ABB's performance from this show. It's in real audio format, so you'll have to either record it to wave or use realplayer's premium burning service to get it to cd.The ABB's sets aren't as flawlessly executed as The Dead's, but they're worth having all the same.cheers - September 27, 2005rest of venue

Subject: One of the most awesome days of my life This show (June 9, 1973) was by far the most "out there" Grateful Dead show. I was there. This was my second (out of about 30) Dead concerts (my first was Baltimore Civic Center (9-72). This recording proves that listening to the Dead depends totally on your state of mind and mood. The first few times I heard it, I thought the sound quality sucked (was flat), then ... driving to the beach (about 3 hours) I listened to it with the background noise of wind through the windows (which in a strange way minimized the sound quality blemishes), and I was on a flashback to the state of mind while I was there that day in 1973. Garcia and Lesh are absolutely in a parallel universe (and universes parallel to each other as well) during the breaks on certain songs (They Love Each Other/Loose Lucy). These are songs I generally don't prefer. But it just proves that the Dead can inject a mindblast into the break of any songs they play (favorites or not). What is amazing about the Dead is after 30 years of listening to them, I have never tired of their music, and am always hearing something new I haven't heard in live performances that I have listened to a hundred times or more. As I said, Ithe music changes with your state of mind. - August 28, 2005One of the most awesome days of my life

Subject: Stella! A really fabulous Eyes of the World easing into Stella Blue -- a definate highlight. I love the fast They Love Each Other from this period. Also a great Bird Song. Jerry is hot all night, not just in the jam songs, but even on standards like Big River. A very interesting use of Jerry's wah-wah pedal on Here Comes Sunshine, which has also some nice Phil.



Only three months after Pigpen's passing and they're moving on into the next phase. Can't go back and can't stand still -- it made 'em great. - August 11, 2005Stella!
