This sequence of music is simply astonishing; 1973 is where it's at for me. The fact it's finally been officially released solitifies to me the significance not only musically, but in terms of how strong this year was in the context of their vast career.
Sucks they seem to be fizzling out...would have been cool if they'd gotten some lyrics from mr hunter or mr barlow before they departed. Gotta love them for keeping it going right along though!
The eyes of the world from this show,along with the China>Rider absolutely smokes!! The Pauley Pavilion show gets the love,but this is one of the top shows from 1973- Its a dream setlist for Other One fans- The whole Other One medley is Psychedelic Americana- the reason the Grateful Dead are a whole GENRE and way more than just a rock n roll band.
There is really nothing in rock and roll as unique as the GD..They created their own unique sound and genre that continues to inspire and mystify to this day...
what a wonderful selection ... perfect for a Friday afternoon before Christmas and even though its crunch time for Santa this brings the circle of happiness of the Dead to heart
bobby is the most unique and probably the best rhythm guitarist of all time.. he always seems to have just the right little tid bit to add to really make jerry stand out.
You know i listened to those songs from LIVE DEAD for years before realizing that Weir was playing those excellent rhythm parts that support Garcia perfectly. Fantastic harmony matched to Garcia's spacious soloing. As a friend of mine said, he can really hear around the corner. This live take is a wonderful example.
3340steve Weir is extraordinary. I spend countless hours at shows and sitting in front of my stereo picking him out exclusively from the other music. Such sophistication. But, I've also felt that he needs the accompaniment of Messrs Garcia and Lesh to bring out his peak form. A little adult supervision.
Just ask yourself when you're really thinking for a moment... Is there any better sound musically than a clean soundboard from '73 or '74??? Pick any song but Eye's they definitely nailed it from beginning to end.. Confirmed by them... They were really trying to make it happen and did.. It's so thoughtful.. It's so rare a Dead song is played best the 1st or 2nd year of existence but Eyes is my favorite and heard every one played and I still always go back '73/'74 & some '76 then'77/'78 but different sound obviously.. Jerry's Guitar is so clean and pure..Enjoy.....
Vinny.. So happy you love Eyes and yes the first time they played it was down the road from me at Maples Pavilion,Stanford Univ.. 2/9/73 That show I played so many times in the late 70's and then made a copy's in fear that my precious soundboard was going to fade away.. That night had so many new songs Here Comes Sunshine, Loose Lucy, China Doll, Row Jimmy and Love Each Other.. 73 was the year if I had to pick but every year and still to this day when even Dead & Co plays live the World is a better place and thrilled that their songs are still filling the air.
@@Mogie4488 Breakout city. Wake of the flood. I always thought that this version of Eyes sounds extremely polished for the first one ever. The song was close to the heart for Jerry right from the get-go.
How could I not love this? '73 was definitely a peak year in spite of Pigpen's tragic ending. This has my first favorite Dead tune sandwiched around my all time favorite (ok top 3 or 5) Dead tune. I eventually realized it is impossible for me to ever rank the songs except put in 3 levels maybe. The ones that I would travel through time and space to hear each version, the ones that I like a great deal, and the few that I just don't care to ever see performed live again (Little Red Rooster).
Thank you for posting!! I was at this concert, my one and only Dead concert and I think it sums it all up - amazingly gorgeous, cosmic and truly transformational. At least that how it was that night dancing with everyone on the arena floor in a true purple haze! I get a contact high just listening to this again. It's embedded in my DNA!
I tend to agree, mate. I saw the Dead during the 1972 Thanksgiving weekend, and only Billy was drumming. Sounded great to me, more punchy drum definition like on this recording. When both guys were playing the drumming became less distinct---but I never listened to the Dead the same way I do, for example, Led Zeppelin.
Bill played jazz behind a four man rock band during that era. Really great stuff, for sure. 73 in particular contains some of my very favorite Dead shows/jams.
I agree but I would extend it all the way to 1980. You can't deny the 77-78 years, you just can't. even 76. 73-74 were the jazz years. You hear their transition from the long and drawn out jams with no foundation from 72 that morphed into free form jazz in 73-74. The 1st part of this recording is really a jazz jam with the other one as the base. the other one is never developed only hinted at. then at 7 minutes eyes forms out of it.
fantastic as it moves from "The other one into eyes" but I don't have to tell you all it's in the ear's of the listener and the mood one is in at the time...The best show ever for one just seams to have missed the sparkle for the other...What I remember of all TBH is just always moving we always had needs pacific garden mall one day haste and channing the next on to the haight great western forum ...so on so on so on so on
i read a Bumber Sticker in '90 ,just when all the trouble with the meth n crack heads outside the venues was starting , that said " ITS ABOUT THE MUSIC " . Im in.
I think it's like a musical interpretation of the relationship between the early Dead (Warlocks) and the Merry Pranksters, I think...or so I've been told...and a reference to Kesey's Bus Trip and the Acid Tests. I may be wrong....I'm really just here for the music anyhow. No need to respond.
Fantastic artwork! My only complaint: the transitions are too fast. Just as I'm beginning to really get into one it changes to another and I have to "reset" my mindspace :-)
There are only a few songs that were written by the Dead about actual people. West LA about Belushi. Bird Song about Janis. Tennessee Jed not a real person, nor is Loose Lucy. Thanks Jonathan Mills for the truth about He's Gone. Pig sang a few songs about women, Katie Mae is a good example. Anyone know if Katie Mae was an actual person?
My favorite studio album: Mississippi Halfstep, Row Jimmy, Here Comes Sunshine, Eyes of the World, Weather Report Suite ... all favorites of mine. Also Love Dicks Picks Volume 1 for having great jammed out versions of some of these songs!

Well, I'm 63, and i'll never get enough of this band. Might be the best live band ever???
Absolutely.
Without a doubt.
Grateful Dead, Allman Bros., and Pink Floyd all occupy the top spaces of that list.
Maybe??!! A band beyond description, Jehova's favorite choir!
I can fully understand what you said. Perfectly agreed. Couldn't agree more.
11/14/73 was the day of this version of the song. I love Just amazing
This whole sequence is epic. Truckin- Other One-Big River-Other One- Eyes- Other One. Bill Kreutzman is a beast
outstanding and very trippy .. don't need drugs to enjoy this fantastic band ... they take you somewhere else all by themselves
Agreed..
Reed Rosson Drugs help... (~:
Amazing band either way
JoeSteven101 Drugs make any band sound better lol
I really like both!!
JohhnyMost I will admit, same here, when willing&able.
i know how much people dig mickey, but bill kicked ass all over the place
bill drives the band...my fav period of dead is without mickey
Mickey....😂
Bill's got such great groove
This sequence of music is simply astonishing; 1973 is where it's at for me. The fact it's finally been officially released solitifies to me the significance not only musically, but in terms of how strong this year was in the context of their vast career.
It's amazing how relevant this music continues to be. I saw Dead and Company this Summer and at least half the crowd was younger than me. I'm only 35.
Many of us are taking what we can get. I got my first tour experience this summer at 20 and I will never regret my unplanned decision to just go~
Sucks they seem to be fizzling out...would have been cool if they'd gotten some lyrics from mr hunter or mr barlow before they departed. Gotta love them for keeping it going right along though!
22 years old for me, loved them since 15, and even more after my first experience with Mary Jane!
the grateful dead saved my life again today
oh my lord phil kills me with that outstanding bass !
The Dead are a gift for our souls from God to just be happy and be good humans
The eyes of the world from this show,along with the China>Rider absolutely smokes!! The Pauley Pavilion show gets the love,but this is one of the top shows from 1973- Its a dream setlist for Other One fans- The whole Other One medley is Psychedelic Americana- the reason the Grateful Dead are a whole GENRE and way more than just a rock n roll band.
The Otteer One has metaphysical Magic from The Tracks of Experience.
There is really nothing in rock and roll as unique as the GD..They created their own unique sound and genre that continues to inspire and mystify to this day...
From 5:27 to the end of eyes of the world is my single favorite piece of Grateful Dead music, and that’s saying something!
what a wonderful selection ... perfect for a Friday afternoon before Christmas and even though its crunch time for Santa this brings the circle of happiness of the Dead to heart
bobby is the most unique and probably the best rhythm guitarist of all time.. he always seems to have just the right little tid bit to add to really make jerry stand out.
+Funk Meister best 2nd guitarist in the bizz. Most underrated player as well
Agreed. Every time I saw Garcia without Weir or Weir without Garcia there was always something missing. They belonged together on stage.
Well Jerry shows were the true light of my life. (~);}
You know i listened to those songs from LIVE DEAD for years before realizing that Weir was playing those excellent rhythm parts that support Garcia perfectly.
Fantastic harmony matched to Garcia's spacious soloing. As a friend of mine said, he can really hear around the corner. This live take is a wonderful example.

But, I've also felt that he needs the accompaniment of Messrs Garcia and Lesh to bring out his peak form. A little adult supervision.
every time I went to a concert I would take a different trip through the magical music of the Grateful Dead
my favorite show! nov 73 is the dead at its best!!
Gotta Love The Mini Hoffman's. . . Thank You Albert Im Rididing With You. .
I love all the Wake Of the Flood material that '73 produced.
Bass Grate!
Lesh Philling!
You got that right! Check out the Eyes from 08/06/74 if you haven't yet.
Hight art
Jerry was on fire in 73
The 70's were my favorites....all jamming.....truly truckin in a musical sense...
Chinese music
Totally with you on that Jordan more examples of Dead/Garcia 73 Watkins Glen soundcheck jam WoW craazzy fingers
Just ask yourself when you're really thinking for a moment... Is there any better sound musically than a clean soundboard from '73 or '74???

Yea but you gotta give Weather Report Suite Let It Grow it;s due for that period as well, ya know..
@@Mogie4488 Breakout city. Wake of the flood. I always thought that this version of Eyes sounds extremely polished for the first one ever. The song was close to the heart for Jerry right from the get-go.
Yes yes yes
i love all musicians in the band the Grateful Dead . but i have to report that Billy the 1 Drummer , is a Funky Locomotion .
saw them at Pauley Pavillion a few days later. Now one of Dave's picks, and always one of mine. I got on the bus for good that week.
73 had the mind left the body jams. Great stuff.
pure love. That is what this music is.
Exquisite delicately done phrases in EOTW makes for an all time favorite version.
Awesome all the way around Klytus Fentree.Thx for the upload.

so beautiful...perfect in every way

Orchid...how could this be ur only DEAD show after experiencing them this one time???
How could you have gone to just one dead show!!?? I mean they are like lays chips. Ya can't have just one.
Best Band Ever.
Billy kills it during this '73-'74 era w/o Mickey around.
I tend to agree, mate. I saw the Dead during the 1972 Thanksgiving weekend, and only Billy was drumming. Sounded great to me, more punchy drum definition like on this recording. When both guys were playing the drumming became less distinct---but I never listened to the Dead the same way I do, for example, Led Zeppelin.
Oboybee Add 1972 to those years. I like Mickey, but Billy proved he could handle the job by himself. The best years of the Dead IMHO.
Bill played jazz behind a four man rock band during that era. Really great stuff, for sure. 73 in particular contains some of my very favorite Dead shows/jams.

Oboybee i like it more
just rite on the money this one.
These guys are gonna go places, I can just sense it.
So trippy, thank you.
Just a few days later 11/17/73 happens, another really great show
became a daves pick I believe
Boy when they were on they were on.Im not sure even they could understand how they could play like this.
Was there that night in San Diego, unbelievable experience, first time to see GD.
love love love this!
The early versions of Eyes have a really interesting coda it starts at 17:55
I always wondered why they discontinued that. Totally makes Eyes that much better (imo)
it's not a coda, it's jut them jamming. Sugar Magnolia has a coda (sunshine daydream).
fantastic as it moves from "The other one into eyes" but I don't have to tell you all it's in the ear's of the listener and the mood one is in at the time...The best show ever for one just seams to have missed the sparkle for the other...What I remember of all TBH is just always moving we always had needs pacific garden mall one day haste and channing the next on to the haight great western forum ...so on so on so on so on
As Jerry said one time, " Really when you get down to it the Grateful Dead is about transportation..."
THanks for upload

i read a Bumber Sticker in '90 ,just when all the trouble with the meth n crack heads outside the venues was starting , that said " ITS ABOUT THE MUSIC " . Im in.
Go bobby! Love and miss the " Family " Alot ! They are TGSET

Holy Spirit Amen!
Thanks for your Visuals they make my Shrooms work better ... now I know they’re Real ...😉😜😉
Nice Myan Callender's Also. . . Thanks
i agree, their peak was 1973-77
nah. '89 was the peak. 77 was not even as good as '74 or '72 IMO.
Badass.
Bobby sounds great on rhythm at around 10:20-10:50!! :)
For real this version is the best.
this...is the stuff dreams are made of...
just here to fart around...vonnegutt....noone has ever done that better than the dead and we...deadheads....dance!
remarkable Jerry Zone all the way!!!!!
good g-d! Unreal...
This is bliss in musical form....don't listen to those four people....they don"t know.
So swwweeeet!
The Other One was the 11th is/was Joseph no mistake Amen Good Vibes and TY just came up now and 8 years later no mistake
$sweet n Wonderful
heck yes
Oh Yeah!!!
giddy the F up !!!! drink it in - it always goes down smooth .......
......gimme some ........!
I think it's like a musical interpretation of the relationship between the early Dead (Warlocks) and the Merry Pranksters, I think...or so I've been told...and a reference to Kesey's Bus Trip and the Acid Tests. I may be wrong....I'm really just here for the music anyhow. No need to respond.
Eyes starts at 6:20.
doktordre77 spoilers
i agree
..... gimme some......
Can’t find this on Spotify :(
YEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAA~*
arrrrrgg!
Fantastic artwork! My only complaint: the transitions are too fast. Just as I'm beginning to really get into one it changes to another and I have to "reset" my mindspace :-)
melody:)
.."should we keep playing the eyes of the world rehearsed jam? Nah, let's just go back to the other one..."
This is all Phil....
18:58 everything is 4/4 if you think about it...
🌎💀🌙
Everywhere and nowhere
relax your face, Tremor. Therefore. better keep running, Chase. Steel yo' faith right off the overhead. Need the older head. Billy breathes.
How did grateful dead know the story of the skeloton? Marty.
Isn't this a tribute to neal cassady?
Shivani König It is the immortalization of Neal Cassady.
Shivani König "There was Cowboy Neal at the wheel in the bus to never never land."
+Shivani König The Other One was written while Cassady was alive as opposed to Cassady and He's Gone both about Neil Cassady after he passed away
He's gone is actually about Mickey's dad who was their manager, stole a bunch of money, and split.
There are only a few songs that were written by the Dead about actual people. West LA about Belushi. Bird Song about Janis. Tennessee Jed not a real person, nor is Loose Lucy. Thanks Jonathan Mills for the truth about He's Gone. Pig sang a few songs about women, Katie Mae is a good example. Anyone know if Katie Mae was an actual person?
Which one ☝️
5:20
what's the album at 14:23?
wake of the flood. obscurer than most but probably one of their best studio efforts
My favorite studio album: Mississippi Halfstep, Row Jimmy, Here Comes Sunshine, Eyes of the World, Weather Report Suite ... all favorites of mine. Also Love Dicks Picks Volume 1 for having great jammed out versions of some of these songs!
Cream.
