"There are a lot of very good shows on this day in history, but our Dead of the Day takes the cake. the boys are perfectly on all evening in their jazzy rock form. This sort of playing makes the Sugaree as dark and noir-ish as the tune can get. A little later in the first set, the jam in Tennessee Jed saunters along, lulling you before you suddenly realize the Dead arrived in some heady territory. Jack Straw continues that spare sound with Bobby’s vocals and Billy’s drums up front in the mix, but Jerry and Phil perfectly audible at a little further distance, all coming together beautifully. After, a really short and, once again, subdued version of China Cat Sunflower, the tune leads into a lengthy, and so tasty pure rock jam into I Know You Rider. Led by Jerry, they take the song into some sparse but scintillating areas, through a diverse and intriguing version of Rider. But that does not send the set out as the boys continue on with a solid El Paso and a really wonderful Half Step before taking it into break with a Playin’ In The Band. The Playin’ gets out there, but in a way characteristic of this show: jazzy and reserved, yet still unreal. The second set opens with one of the few Let Me Sing Your Blues Away. The Weather Report Suite that rolls out next is often considered the best ever, and it is easy to see why. It is jazzy throughout with Jerry’s licks coming in measured fashion, perfectly ripe. The vocals are ridiculous, and Phil’s bass is just there on the edge, providing an extra bit of majesty. But the thing that sends this Weather Report Suite over the top completely is Martin Fierro on sax and Joe Ellis blowing the trumpet. A sweet Row Jimmy follows with a ripping Big River coming on its heels. The Deal, though only five minutes, is packed with tasty nuggets too. A song later, Dark Star comes forth with thrilling loveliness topped by Phil’s long bass solo into Morning Dew. And what a Dew it is, with some sparkling guitar work by Jerry and just great playing by everyone with a tremendous crescendo to end the set. Then they scorch - really the only time all evening that they do that with Sugar Mags as the encore. Roll it up & turn it up, enjoy!" (gratefuldeadoftheday/msw)
I saw them earlier in Chicago that year and then turned down a trip to Watkins Glen that summer when I was hitchhiking home from work. The dead and the Allman Brothers were my favorite band at that time but I was only 14 years old and I couldn't do that to my parents. I still think I made the right decision but damn what a show that was.
Beautiful looks like rain , but where's Donna, I love their vocal harmony, and damn that playin in the band ooo wee, or should i say oooooooOooh YEAAAHHHHyeaeaeaeah lol
The Bob/Donna LLRs are splendid. So are their Sunshine Daydreams of the late 70s. Donna had some fine moments but some of her bad were really BAD! I love her long scream on PITB You won't hear many Heads say that. 😄
So much greatness. A few notes... Nice afternoon listen from the just billy era. Martin f 2nd set on sax and a rare let me sing your blues away and so much more. Slowwwe d and c style 1st set lovely donna too th-cam.com/video/Jkvn6N-OVyY/w-d-xo.html opens into promised land but hey.... Amazing things like Phil backing bobby on jackstraw, chinacat sunflower so delicate and winding , amazing looks like rain sugaree deal row jimmy great sax on weather report, After the dark Star which is incredible Phil does this Great solo this is a two and a half hours it's like a " I want us to play morning dew now "solo and it's so good and then they go in to morning dew, i could go on & on about this slice of 1 of my personal fav eras....
11 september 1973 was not 11 september 2001 unless you're looking through a glass darkly 16 july 1945 was not 16 july 1969 unless you hope to occult the prior by drawing attention to the latter maybe you're looking in a mirror or maybe you're In The Dark
More Bass Phil Leshing...RIP Phil ...thank you for all you did for the Deadheads
I tell you this I love all Graeful Dead but the year 1973 was so pure.
