Charlie Miller you are a god damn saint doing hero's work even though you likely may never see this. This audio quality brings a tear to my eye, especially given all the crap GD audio there is of shows decades later... that might make this a half-ass compliment... But thank you anyway. Stunning sound.

Never really listened to this show before in depth but I’m loving what I’m hearing now! PITB and Sunshine were particularly exquisite, can’t wait for the THIRD set - those were the days indeed!

This is a gr8 example of 73 dead.not the best of 73 but a stellar show none the less.

Free Advice? Listen to SET THREE to start and then come back and take in the whole show.
Jerry with raspy voice is pretty unique for 73.
I find this to be very solid performances of tunes they were playing in 73. A lot of emotion and the sound quality is super kind.
And by that I don't mean every single moment pristinely preserved but I mean that if you put on the headphones the Dead will rock your donkey.
Always in search of a nice Box of Rain and this one has nice Donna harmonies plenty of Keith and a very fired up Phil Lesh.
The Deal that follows is groovy!
My teen son and I were sitting in the car when we found Set 3 on Sirius and wow we were floored.
6am in the morning and crystal clear EYES OF THE WORLD cranking on the car speakers,
My son said he has had that tune in his head the last couple of days! 30 years for me.
Note: a lot of great banter between band members and also band interacting with heads.

Excellent upgrade from my previous tapes. I remember my old tapes were the recording with a lot of wind in the microphones. Really a drag.

This show at UCSB was truly a classic California summer show. It was a beautiful sunny afternoon, and the band was sounding and looking great (the local Santa Barbara Deadettes were looking good too). Lots of big smiles.
No comparing to any other shows, but especially if you were there, it was one of the greater days of dead during that fantastic year. Turn the show up real high and put of some headphones (major contact high in no time)!

Much praised, this show is nevertheless rather ordinary when taken as a whole. Nothing wrong with it at all, apart from maybe some shaky renditions in the 1st set, but to say it pales in comparison with both the RFK shows less than a month later would be the understatement of several decades.

That said, most of the 3rd set is excellent, especially the Nobody's Jam, Other One & Eyes.

Thanks to Ole Charlie and co.. for a top shelf version of a real fine show,,highlites aplenty with pristine sound quality...as good as they played in 73.. a show worth listening to ..again and again. it will give you that magic.. that we all love..

.

I know i downloaded parts of this show a while back but here i am again, back for more. Tenn Jed is great!

I've read a few reviews purporting this show to be better than Kezar. I suppose to each his own but the China/Rider from Kezar is truly earth shattering. Still gives me chills every time i hear it.

This show definitely has some tech. difficulties. But hey, it's the Grateful Dead so who the hell really cares!!!

A thirty year old Jerry is going through puberty during this show. Gotta love when a musician loves playing so much he'll get on stage and sing his heart out even when a cold is getting the best of him.

The Dead will never die.

march-2010 my handyman - mark was there-working in my basement in mpls, mark and me, talking about the wall of sound,looking at you tube and laughing,mark says "i took some pictures back in 73, in santa barbara, when i was living out there, missing vietnam, working for the gov. forest service. mark pulled some pictures, they were great, me , im 44 , and my first show was 82 , st paul mn. funny how things happen, love the dead

who gives a shit? *points to the douche-bags comment below* a critique-stalker eh? love live the archives. lol

"This day in GRATEFUL DEAD History"

Thirty six years ago to the day, the GRATEFUL DEAD were playin' at the Campus Stadium at the University of California, I couldn't be there, but I showed up today, where were you?

~Super 73' Soundboard from Santa Barbara~

I highly recommend adding this show to your 1973 GRATEFUL DEAD collection.

This is a Charlie Miller Transfer. I highly recommend you "click" on Charlie Miller's name and collect "all" his GRATEFUL DEAD shows.

Mr. Miller's taste in GRATEFUL DEAD shows is impeccable.

Thank you Mr. Miller for sharing this show with us and thank you Mr. Noah Weiner for your hard work in cleaning up this show, we love you guys.

At this show the GRATEFUL DEAD perform George Jones' song, "The Race Is On"; a big favorite of mine.

If you are not familiar with George Jones and were old enough to attend this show, you are ready for George Jones' Box Set. I suggest you expose yourself to his music. He's another musical legend like Merle Haggard.

The GRATEFUL DEAD were always listening to other peoples music, are you?

I wonder why no school ever produced a band like the GRATEFUL DEAD?

Keith has settled into his position as the "keyboard" player and his wonderful wife Donna, sings like an angel from heaven.

The GRATEFUL DEAD perform 32 of their classic songs before a loving crowd of fans at the University of California. And you know in 1973 the place was packed with FREAKS!

A 19 minute "Playing In The Band" from 1973 is a jam you are not gonna' want to miss...get ready for lift off...

This show gets "Better and Better" as it progresses.
