This was the first show my older brother, Ben, went to, who was the same guy who helped me get on the bus around this time, when I was 11 or 12 years old. I recall being particularly inspired after listening to a bootleg from his tape collection. The show was 9/27/72 at the Stanley Theatre, with the "Morning Dew" opener. I played that song over and over on that tape, without really venturing into the rest of the show. "Morning Dew" had such an ancient and familiar emotional quality to it, and Jerry's voice seemed timeless. The song transcended its immediate subject in the lyrics, and spoke some deeper level of age-old wisdom through the melody itself - and Jerry's guitar. It blew my mind.
Anyway, last summer I was walking down Wabash Avenue in Chicago under the 'L' tracks with Ben and asked him what his first show was (not sure why it took so long to ask that question). His words: "Rosemont '93, 'Help-Slip-Frank's' opener." That was it - nothing more to explain.
So, this matrix was the first time I actually listened to this show - because how can you listen to a '93 soundboard without being immediately turned off by the sound of the Grateful Dead playing into a cardboard box on the floor that's in some dark room back stage? It just doesn't make sense to hear Jerry's guitar playing to "nothing" and not reverberating in the room and ears of thousands of happy, hungry people. And NO guitar can resound in a room like Jerry's, so why not provide a more accurate picture of what went down? This makes all the difference sonically, in my opinion, and what makes it a "show" on tape.
And what a show it is! I perused a bunch of reviews online, and this show appears to be one of the top-rated shows of '93. Ken Nordine doing "Flibberty Jib On The Bippity Bop"? - gotta matrix THAT voice! And how about a "Days Between" for the ages, or that scorching "Other One"? "So Many Roads" is always a treat. So dig in and have fun! I recommend adding a little bass on your EQ to make up for the '93 soundboard sterility, which is why I haven't been too keen on working with '93 tapes in the first place. But there are, of course, worthy exceptions...as in Chicago '93, and my brother's first show.

Subject: OK MTX
Subject: Set 1 Magic
Set2: Iko Iko is fairly uneventful but pleasing, followed by everyone's favorite song, Wave to the Wind. Jerry puts forth a good effort, providing us with a nice solo in the middle of this traditionally flat tune. The Truckin>Spoonful>He's gone takes the Set2 MVP. Ken Nordine drops in during space to provide some of his jazz poetry, the band noodling behind his ominous voice as if they've conjured up some strange deity from the depths of the cosmos. The band works their way into a fabulous TOO, rounding out the night with decent but fairly unremarkable renditions of The Days Between and Around & Around.
Overall, I would definitely recommend this whole show, but if you're perusing I would make sure to hit Help>Slip>Franklin and Truckin>Spoonful>He's Gone. Fans of Althea will not be disappointed with this version either.

I'm not critiquing the rest of the show. From the bits of it I heard, it is average.
Subject: March 11, 1993!!!
Subject: Nice and heavy on the AUD
For these later shows, it's important to bring out the audience interaction in the recordings as to better display the band's enthusiasm for playing well being somewhat depending on the crowd being cool.
No doubt that Spring 93' is a great tour. Of the Vince-solo years I think its the collectively best tour performance consistency wise. All of the Rosemont shows from this tour are great. Jerry seems focused and lays down thoughtful solos throughout.
The Franklin's from this show is badass. Great Vince piano and Jerry responds with energetic enthusiasm. As many have said, the Jerry ballads (So Many Roads, The Days Between) really shine at this show in particular. Phil is also WAY heavy in the mix, for the best results possible.
Wave to the Wind is the worst song the Grateful Dead ever performed. No wonder Phil and Friends or Furthur don't perform it.
Thanks for Matrixin' this Hunter. Your contributions to the community are valuable. Keep them coming!
