Kezar Stadium: Two Historic Grateful Dead Concerts

[@oughtssought1198]

we were at the '73 Kezar show. I saw 200+ Dead shows & that is one of 2 that
stand out above all the rest. Kezar deserves a nominee for best live GD venue,
right there w/ the Greek, Frost, Red Rocks & Alpine Valley as my personal favorites
wish there was video of this show ... it was special fun visually as well as all otherwise

Both shows have been released officially - 5/26/73 as a part of the Here Comes Sunshine box released in June 2023, and 3/23/75 is a part of the bonus disc that came with pre-orders of the Beyond Description box released in November 2004. Johnny B. Goode was not included in that bonus disc. This really is the first time I saw the old Kesar Stadium empty. Thank you yet again for this segment. I sure would like to see every full episode in order.

I was there in 75 and one memory i have is how stunning Grace Slick looked..Ticket was five bucks bye the way ..Had a chance to meet Willie Mays there and didn't, I regret that..

Got to "witness" the Wall-of-Sound and the Dead in Oct '73 in Madison WI.
Just about EVERYONE from my dorm went to that concert.

Had a fun day at SNACK concert! My first time seeing the Dead. I didn’t really know what to make of it but it was interesting.

I saw the Dead in March of '73. I was well dosed and with that wall of sound, it could have been the highest they ever got me. Wasn't that a time.

I never realized the kezar stadium I know isn't the same one the dead played, I saw it for the first time in 95

[@ErikShen2907]

Jerry was in peak form here...

[@Maaaattologyyyy]

Trips me out thinking about it

I used to go to Kezar stadium for the free meal. The Krishna’s and the Diggers both fed people there.

[@striderranger7384]

I see you’re an original 11 Man!. Very cool. The Diggers were cutting edge. I’ve read Rigolevio by Emmett Grogan. Was one of Jerry’s favorite books.

@@striderranger7384 yeah mine too🙂. I met Peter Coyote once on set & he said his book is better though. He said Emmet fabricated a lot. Lol...

[@striderranger7384]

Was there May 26, 1973.
