Wharf Rat is Dark Star’s little brother and Birdsong is the little sister. The transition during the PITB sandwich into Wharf Rat reminds me of the gem played on 5/25/72.
Subject: Yes, that’s a Dark Star Jam
That is clearly a Dark Star jam that begins w a Wharf Rat tease. The tease melts right into a typical Dark Star sound.
Subject: Dark Star Jam???

It's nice that we can stream shows that have been released on CD, for those who can't afford to shell out for the releases or don't place their orders in time. It used to be that the streams got pulled from the Archive, which explains one comment from 2011. Given that every release is a limited edition that sells out in a few heartbeats, that means the music isn't lost forever for those who don't get the CDs.
Subject: Dank
Subject: Typical '73 good show,
Subject: As good as '73 gets
Subject: Who's the greedy one??
That said, just about everything from this run from September to December 73 is just golden. Thanks to all who make this music available on the Archive. Remember, none of it HAS to be here at all. Be appreciative.
Subject: About to be purged!
Anyway, I'm looking for people to trade shows with (specifically ones that have been released on CD that can't be found here). I have soundboards of virtually everything from the years 72, 73, 74, 77, & 78, and I mean ALMOST EVERYTHING (lossy format) including this show in Denver. I would like to have the 73 & 77 Winterland box sets, and a few more so if you have those recordings lets trade.
Contact me at pinetarjunky@hotmail.com if interested.

Dude...don't forget this show ... it is smooth and pretty ... nice and melodic ...
the last half is a non-stopper ... darkstarjam will make a believer out of you again ...
Hold your head up dude ... there is a world here wherein I belong ... and so does everybody else ...
when the cancer hurts dude , listen to this one...
Subject: Not a bad song in the whole show!
The band is tight and the soundboard mix was pretty good. Jerry, Bobby and Keith are well balanced and the vocals aren't too strong. Phil could have been better but the acoustics at the Coliseum probably required the bass to be brought down. They hold stock shows there!
The first set is just incredible - great songs played superbly. They start off with Me and My Uncle to pay homage to Denver. Jack Straw is an awesome version with a lyrical Jerry solo. They give a subtle performance on Black Thoated Wind - Bobby doesn't overdo it until the last minute. They Love Each Other is a great jazzy, bouncy version. Looks Like Rain starts slow but builds to a moving, restrained version with a stunningly beautiful Jerry solo. Here Comes Sunshine is played as an awesome jam with a strong Bobby rhythm guitar. The set ends with a surprisingly (for the GD) studio-like version of Weather Report Suite - very well done.
The second set is built around Playing in the Band - not my favorite but well done here. Donna-wailing warning - plug your ears around the 2 minute mark of the first movement. The rest of the movement is a brilliant jazzy jam. A good version of El Paso is sandwiched in. The Dark Star is a short but sweet instrumental going into a great (as always) Wharf Rat. The last Playing is really Space. Morning Dew is done slow and plaintive, with Jerry letting his guitar sing - a top-10 version for me. Truckin has a sweet jam in the second half. Goin Down the Road is an up tempo version with lots of Keith for good measure. I even liked the One More Saturday Night - Keith save it for me.
The encore of Uncle John's Band sounded like the band was worn out from a great show, but they still managed to jam out the end of the song to send everyone home smiling.
What more do you want from a show than this!!
Subject: Hard to deny november 73' power
I agree, that the rain theme first set is bad ass. The boys would do a similar (but of course different) thing at three rivers stadium in 1995.6.30' with a "Rain, Box of Rain>Samba in the Rain, LL Rain", ahh the water power. A little more direct of an attempt that this, but of course we would all chose winter 73' run over the last tour. BUT I DIGRESS!
This show has excellent playing, great sound (Charlie Miller does that without getting paid for it. Man!) and creative setlist.
Half Step>Playing>El Paso>Playing>DS Jam>Wharf Rat>Playing> Morning Dew
quite a unique setlist, for the time and in general. Whoever complained about the El Paso insert in the Playing wrap around should think about what the expect out of listening to Dead music. Complaining about a Bobby cowboy staple versus realizing a creative effort to mix up performances and vary the song, song, song progression. The more likely pairing of these songs would be something like a Dark Star>El Paso>Dark Star, or even more likely a Me & My Uncle insert. So bashing a creative setlist because of personal taste dosn't really seem relevant. The extra effort is here, and we are all very pleased.
I love beardless Jerry G-Dead!
Subject: water related run
this show is killer 73' dead. no flaws.
un-necessary el paso ? .... um, are you a deadhead? el paso is one of thier greatest workouts. the way they slip right into it is what makes the dead the dead. tight, focused, beautiful. go, billy, go!
nothing is better than when the dead flip it and flip it and flip it back.
are you mad at dark star being only 3 1/2 minutes too ?
Subject: Beautiful
Subject: great show
Subject: Now that is a setlist
Mellow, to be sure, but deep and interesting. Bobby has got just the right amount of phasing on that Wharf Rat. Sadly (but whatever) there is no magical jam at the end of the Wharf Rat. Instead, foreshadowing the approach taken 11 months later on 10-20-74 (one of the greatest segues in the history of the band) they quickly launch into the Playin' jam again. Around 9:30 into that jam Jerry begins reaching into some blinding feedback, obtaining a high-pitched analog (but barely warm) tone that sounds more like a flute than a guitar.
Then Donna does her schtick. The crowd goes wild. And then a Dew.
Ignore the previous night.
