Well said in the description. Taken as a whole, the suite is fantastic. And, that initial sunshine->chinacat transition never happened again in any show or sound check?! I’m bookmarking this one to share. TY!
And again today. Every time I feel the peak coming on I pop on a Sunshine from 72-73. This is a really unique version. Thank you for this upload. This is going on my "travel" playlist! Favorite is still 11/30/73 Boston! But this is special!
I agree that this is a “trinity “ that works together like a divinely prepared meal. Art at its highest form, I’ve been in awe of the transition since late 80’s when I traded this show: an amazing period for The Dead. I have been trying to chase down Here comes Sunshine via D&Co. Missed every one they do. ? So far. St Stephen opener into the Eleven at Shoreline was mindblowing!!!! Thanks D& Co!
This is an amazing transition, and it came out of nowhere as well, im glad to have downloaded this song, thank you for making it available for everyone!
Haha, Earl, in a way it is! You become a networker because everyone you meet wants to be friends. Plus you better be good to them because they’re going to love you no matter what! Hope all that was sensical.
I was blown away the first time I heard this song. So glad they brought it back in 93 for what would be the last of any truly rememberable shows. This stuff is what turns people on the Dead.
One of the greatest transitions in GD history. Check out the UJB to Let it Grow transition from MSG during the 1990 run. Seamless and spectacular in an era when actual transitions were nonexistent.
Subscribe ...look at what this site has from the 70ties!!!!! Incroyable... beautifull ...and thank you ..... 😊😊😊.... clarity in focus , when liveing in the western n.a.t.o war society ...thank you gerry et all , yet again over all these decades ...
Look for cow palace, believe march 1973 may be 76. You will cry the 😮whole way through. The transition from cat to rider.....Ben looking for a better 45 plus years. God bless. Michael E McIn😊tire
Listening to that transition from HCS into CCS is like being a frog in proceedingly hot water, you don't know whats going and then it comes around and steals your face!
www.reddit.com/r/gratefuldead/comments/4teo4c/me_and_the_dead_3/ Installment 3: The first time that I saw the Grateful Dead was in February of 1973. Despite the fact that it was the middle of the winter in Minnesota, I don’t remember it being cold or even wearing a jacket. I went with a bunch of my high school friends, maybe 5 or 6 of us. I think the only Dead album that I had, or that my friends had, was the Skull and Roses album. But I know that we were familiar with some of the songs from American Beauty and Workingman’s Dead, so I think that I or one of my friends also had those albums. We must have, because it was not like we were hearing the Dead much on the radio - even the progressive album rock FM stations didn’t really play the Dead much (at least not that I remember). The venue, a large auditorium, wasn’t in the best part of Saint Paul. Before going into the show, we went to some kind of fast food place like a McDonalds that was right near the venue to get something to eat. There was a sort of down and out homeless guy hanging out in there (think August West, but really creepy and pushy, and too far gone to get up and fly away). He wanted us to help him, maybe give him some money I suppose. As part of his plea for money, he shows me his colostomy bag full of urine. I was a little sheltered growing up in a nice suburb of Minneapolis, so this set the evening on a weird trajectory. My friends had all purchased their tickets together, but I was kind of a late addition and so I purchased my ticket separately. As we enter the venue we form a line, and the person taking the tickets takes one at a time from each of my friends, and then ushers each of them to the left so that they go to the main floor. I was the last one to go in. The guy takes my ticket, and ushers me to the right so that I have to go up to the second floor balcony area. Immediately, before I even realize what has happened, my friends are gone…gone…gone. Do I need to explain that we didn’t have cell phones? It takes a while for the gravity of the situation to sink in. Not only am I going to have to watch the show all by myself, but I have no clue how I am going to meet up with my friends after the show. I didn’t drive there, so I hadn’t paid a whole lot of attention to where we parked, and I wasn’t even sure if I could find the car. How I was going to get home? I envisioned an evening haunted by the August West guy from the McDonalds. I am up in the balcony, practically crying, all by myself. I wander down, down, not to the docks of the city but rather to the edge of the railing, and I look out over the sea of people on the main floor. Then I hang my head at the utter futility of ever finding my friends, and my gaze falls to the main floor directly below me. What the fuck? It’s my friends. There they are just milling around, right below me. I call out to them and they see me. I yell at them to throw me up a ticket stub (remember those?). They hear me, but they can’t throw a little rectangle of paper up to the second floor. No matter how hard they try, it only goes up a few feet, and then it flutters back down to them. But one of my friends has the brilliant idea to stick the ticket stub into a lighter, and then he tosses the lighter up to me. I caught the lighter, and I was able to use the ticket stub to get into the main floor and rejoin my friends for the show. www.reddit.com/r/gratefuldead/comments/4t64t2/me_and_the_dead_1/ www.reddit.com/r/gratefuldead/comments/4t9hea/me_and_the_dead_2/
Could a knowledgeable Deadhead please verify which guitar Jerry would have been playing at this show -- is it one of the Travis Beans or is it Wolf? It's so bright and sassy...
gonna back track and say you were correct with the Travis Bean, although I'm just passing links on works got me jammed no time for serious investigation. 72-75 was a heady time for the band and there equipment. the Dozin resources are an invaluable resource for inquiring heads. HAPPY TRAILS !! >>> dozin.com/jers/guitars.html >>> dozin.com/theguitars.html >>> www.dozin.com/ >>> dozin.com/gearheads.html >>> PEACE(~);=}
Like a swiss watch, perfect transition
The 70's was a magical time

Ooooh that was a sneaky transfer. Phil smacks you right in the face with the China Cat bass line
Hey Now that's one of the most Respectful things one could Be is a Professional Deadhead
Haha, Earl, in a way it is! You become a networker because everyone you meet wants to be friends. Plus you better be good to them because they’re going to love you no matter what! Hope all that was sensical.
Being a Dead Head means being a human being.
This is some of the finest music to enjoy. What a perfect and smooth segue from HCS into CCS. Amazing.
First sounds normal....with every second gonna bigger and gratefuler😜❤️💚💙💜

I was blown away the first time I heard this song. So glad they brought it back in 93 for what would be the last of any truly rememberable shows. This stuff is what turns people on the Dead.

I'm. Sorry, read the date wrong ,gettin old, still playing the gator!!
Nothin' like a China Cat Sunflower....
7:31
if the dead covered your song you in the very select group.
yo
I accidentally went to a couple 2, 3, 4, 5, 600? Conservative of course.😎
@@KJBonly conservative as in "a conservative estimate of the number of dead shows he's been to."
Sunshine the hundred foot giant
Could a knowledgeable Deadhead please verify which guitar Jerry would have been playing at this show -- is it one of the Travis Beans or is it Wolf? It's so bright and sassy...
I'm going to take an educated guess and say it was the early incarnation of wolf that he's playing on here too early for Travis beans
I bet you're right -- it's just too early for Bean-time. Sure sounds nice, whatever it is.
gonna back track and say you were correct with the Travis Bean, although I'm just passing links on works got me jammed no time for serious investigation. 72-75 was a heady time for the band and there equipment. the Dozin resources are an invaluable resource for inquiring heads.

Yes I think the Beans have that really warm tone even in the high notes, but certainly in the mid range.
i'm pretty sure it's alligator, which is a fender strat. Wolf was first played on 9-7-73 at nassau i think.
The trump campaign ad ruined it for me
They had enough law to keep him from running first time
Wow, the singing is so bad on this one
The best dog I ever had "sunshine"
I grew up behind the stage
Please let's keep kindness 🌹🦩🌹
