12258 Well, Duane was actually deceased by this point. Who knows how good this third set could have been with him. As it is, this is an essential 73 show. Unique Eyes, superb HCSS, wonderful Star, and then that third set. If I had to bring one show from 73 to a desert island, well, you get the idea. classic the_bus50 2004-04-27 00:24:11 2004-04-27 00:24:11 5 12377 I was born in DC - a mere 28 hours after this show occurred, so forgive me if I'm a bit biased. I love every second of this show, from the plaintive but crushing Dew opener to the rockin JBG closer. Phil's solos in Dark Star are stellar. Set III features some tasty Jessica licks from Dicky Betts dueling with Garcia. Unfortunately, neither Duane Allman nor Berry Oakley could be there as they were deceased at the time. super duper show Phokus 2004-04-29 14:39:36 2004-04-29 14:39:36 5 12944 EYES on this show is surreal, dreamy. It's like being high on a riverbank when you can't tell if it is 11AM or 5PM because the sunlight is simply everywhere and you're glowing. To go from an antique cassette of this show to a digital download is like being able to conjure up that riverbank anyday of the week. Down with the Dead Dgold at AHT 2004-05-10 13:12:14 2004-05-10 13:12:14 5 11545 Okay, I like Kezar 5/26, certainly no slouch. But this show beats it out for my favorite of summer 73. If you were Jerry, and you knew some of your musical peers, the Allmans were listening backstage, what would you do? You'd play your ass off, right? The first set starts with Morning Dew,the 2nd with Eyes. Need I say more? Okay, the Bird Song,Playin and Dark Star are fantastic- Jerry is in true form.But wait - who's that joining them onstage for the 3rd Set? The Allman Bros.? Here's where the trip gets twisty folks, for at times you can't tell whether it's Jerry jamming with the Allmans, or the Allmans backing up the Dead. Who cares? It's fantastic! Can you say supergroup? A must have for 1973.

Sparse and beautiful licks make for a great Not Fade Away. The Row Jimmy is out there. The only weakness is the Wharf Rat and Truckin' get sloppy.

Great sound quality, and with a tiny bit of touching up could make a great Dick's Pick. Damn Good MindBender65 2004-08-05 13:31:16 2004-08-05 13:31:16 5 19781 The first 4 songs it took the person mixing to get a grip on levels. The soundman finally gets comfortable and settles in 7 songs later around "They Love Each Other". The levels are low on this recording. Once downloaded it is a good idea to put it through the wang-dangger (your sound editing program)and raise the soundlevels to max out at 0db. If you are skilled at normalizing you may want to normalize. I only add a smather of normalization because too much diminishes overall instrument dynamics and the quiet breaks. There is a lot of squeeze and fluctuation in the high end as if someone mastered this using dolby on a non dolby encoded tape. There has to be a better audience recording out there somewhere. Good Show - bad sbrd mix. ouija 2004-08-28 19:05:56 2004-08-28 19:05:56 3 19900 I had never heard this show until today and am amazed with the energy all the way through - sound quality 4 show quality 5+ Wow sheikyerbouti 2004-08-30 16:38:12 2004-08-30 16:38:12 5 20130 I am not a huge dan of 1973, but this one really kicks.... there is not too much in the way of breaks b/t sets and the third set with the Allman Bros is something to write home about. Also, the sound quality is about as good as you get for this time period without the professional assistance from Dick's Picks. Stop reading my babble and download and listen. This is a good one lawrpm 2004-09-02 10:44:43 2004-09-02 10:44:43 5 20931 Does anyone else hear at the end of goin down the road...some fire in the mountain tease? someone plz check it out and post somethin about it, tell me if im crazy or not :o) Pre- Fire on the Mountain?

This is a good show but not as good as 2/9/73, 5/11/72, 5/8/77 or 12/31/81. I say this b/c I can't figure out why this show is so popular. Nice Eyes Chester Burnett 2004-09-20 12:20:48 2004-09-20 12:20:48 4 22073 This show has a higher mix of Jerry than most 1973 shows. If you like to dial in on Jerry on the likes of Bird Song, Playin' Eyes, Dark Star or the Allmans set, get this download. Of course this show is a classic!

This is the one that converted a long-time Dead hater friend of mine. I put the third set in, and during 'Mama', she said "You know, I think I DO like the Grateful Dead." For me, I think a fantastic 'He's Gone' is overlooked by many. But why are you listening to me? Trust your own ears! My 2 pennies...

And of all the JGB recordings I've listened to(and the very few and cherished times I saw Jerry do this tune), this It Takes ALot To Laugh, It takes a Train to Cry is the best ever performed, IMHO.

It is such a creative and well done show all the way through .The sound is great and the mix is perfect. I hope you check it out and I hope you enjoy it. Public Service Announcment?

Here comes Sunshine's one of my favoritz, this one preceeds a Dark Star ending in Wharf Rat. classic excellence! oh yea, the Allmans are in the mix too. Its a shame theres not more Allman Brothers music out there, and I've gotten about all they have here off the archive. Anybody know where i can quench my thirst for more Allmans?????? good stuff Bob the listener 2004-11-28 17:46:07 2004-11-28 17:43:56 5 28805 I went to the show on the 9th where the played befor the A Bros. After dropping acid and running around the hot sun for most of the day, I slept through most of the A Bros. The Dead were OK and except for someone firing off a pepper gas canister in my section of the stadium it was a nice day. At the end of Saturday night we were sitting around watching the crowd leave and at some point someone announced on the PA that if anyone was interested they could come up and get a big garbage bag. If it was returned full you would get a free ticket for Sunday. So thats what we did. It took about 15 minutes to fill a bag and sure enough they handed out tickets. On sunday the Bros went on before the Dead. At The end of their set, half of the audience left the stadium. So what had been a massive audience was reduced to a nice private party for Dead Heads. Either Bob or Jerry commented on it from the stage and invited everyone to come up closer. As you can see by the two days set lists, Sunday was the killer show.

With entering the trading community, I have been getting some shows and this is by far my favorite Grateful Dead show I've heard from any period!!! This is a must have for newbie Dead listeners!!! Great show! priceofacoke910 2005-01-13 07:17:50 2005-01-13 07:17:50 5 31954 As most of us know, 72' and 73' are some of the deads most productive and best known years, this show is no acception. I have been an avid dead listener for years, and even though I have not have the privilage to bear witness to one of their few thousand! shows, I still know what a good show is. thanks to my parents and their friends, I have acces to many different tapes and recordings. This show was one of my first tapes they gave me, and remains to this day to be my favorite. (it is also one of my favorite darkstar performances ever!)I highly recomend this show to any and all ages what a year China>rider 2005-02-14 15:28:17 2005-02-14 15:28:17 5 Brad Leblanc 32110 There is alot to digest here! Opening Dew only tells you one thing, its going to be a hot night. TLEO is so jumpy you cant help but get down. I could probably ramble forver. If you cant get into this, you probably aren't into the Dead. I'm full! flashbackmagic 2005-02-15 19:52:23 2005-02-15 19:52:23 5 32567 Ladies and Gentlemen, The AllGrateful DeadMan Brothers Band !! They were hittin' the note and everything was just exactly perfect. The preceding Dead show was killer too, the bass solo in Dark Star was great. Oh yeah, TLEO induced some sort of spastic fit while I was painting the kitchen. I came out of it to find my wife staring at me with a look that was half amusement and half total fear. God, I love the Grateful Dead. NAMASTE !! Set III PHIL FACTOR 2005-02-21 14:13:53 2005-02-20 13:27:33 5 32635 we got there a couple hours early on 6/9 before they opened the gates.we could hear china cat/rider as a soundcheck from outside.we spent most of the weekend about 20 feet from the stage.after the 6/10/73 sets including the closing jam,it was worth the sun poisoning. whew ! what a weekend ! davmar77 2005-02-22 20:22:32 2005-02-21 09:45:57 5 33974 this show is as over-rated as they come. its a combo Dew first set opener and the novelty of the allman bros on stage with the boys in the third set that makes this a highly regarded show, nothing more. the actual playing is strikingly average--very mellow--very little octane to this show at all. and the sound is pretty weak, too. sugar mag is nice, with bobby adding some energy finally, but donna, of course bellows off a couple crys to ruin any momentum they were to gain from this charge. she is truly awful. over-rated... donnaruinedthe70s 2005-03-05 22:04:47 2005-03-05 22:04:47 3 34249 Man, was it hot, but what a great day and a great show.

What a wonderful piece of history at my fingertips. I have always been a big fan of RFK and this one is no exception. I never knew they even played there that early. I'm learning things about the dead(and other bands)that I thought I knew. RFK was huge and they were playing there when they were only 8 years old!(the dead) I was only 3! May the Music NEVER Stop! RFK wdman 2005-03-10 07:21:26 2005-03-10 07:21:26 5 35411 This show is good. If you compare it to other shows the dead has cranked out it doesnt compare. I dont know what to send you to but there is defitly better out there. Just keep searching! You will find the best. Lost a star for over rated.

Well now I know what I missed.Never mind the recording quality,it was 1973 after all.Three sets.Merl and the ABB.First Train To Cry of seven.First That's All Right Mama of two.Last Wave That Flag.Box Of Rain to soon dissappear for thirteen years.Here Comes Sunshine played for another year until it dissappears for eighteen years.And oh yeah Morning Dew to open.Download this show for it's historical signifigance because the band surely never played anything like this again.

The versions of RambleonRose,LooksLikeRain,BTW,Stella,HereComesSun,Eyes(25min+) for example, are some of the best I have ever heard. Well worth it 5 fo' sheezy.

Blows Cornell away, that's for sure. Anyhoo, I could write 10 pages on this show, and I probably will. Firstly, it's in D.C. in all hallowed RFK Stadium, which automatically makes it a contender for best show status (betcha didn't know that rule). Furthermore everything about this show is great. The Dark Star is in your face and smacks you around like the little girl that you are. So does the Playin'. And who's gonna argue with a '73 Eyes? Not me, because I would lose that argument (never doubt the oratory skills of a '73 Eyes). Furthermore, the third set with the Allman Brothers contains some of the sweetest music I've ever heard. The guitar interplay is unbelievable. I love this show. You love this show. FIVE STARS! Best show ever BigJDogg 2005-05-06 11:30:51 2005-05-06 11:30:51 5 42681 Awesome Show!

It is a wonderful recording, and was a real turn on when I found this one today. There's enough out there with crappy sound and lousy shows, but if you're gonna download one, let be it. It's got to be the best dark star and eyes out there. (But I do like the eyes version on 'without a net' with marsalis on sax) Stella Blue is a poignant piece, with a soulful jerry on vocals.

The Grail vadead 2005-06-02 18:36:17 2005-04-28 06:23:50 5 43194 Truly a great show. If you have never had the chance to experience a Grateful Dead show like myself, this is a great one to listen to. The mp3 does it no glory, you have to go lossless to feel the awe of this show. I've listened to it at least three times in the last week. Its a great one. Amazing EnterDaMatrix 2005-06-07 18:24:28 2005-06-07 18:24:28 5 43223 This is a good show with some very interesting moments, especially That's Alright Mama. I've heard JGB play this often, but have only heard the Dead play this version, and the improv by Jerry,Duanne and Dicky, wow! Unfortunately, the levels on this recording kind of blew. A lot of level problems!!! The show I would give 5 stars, but with the bad levels, I have to go with 3 stars. This would be an execellent choice for a Dick's Pick. Good Show; Sketchy mix JimmyX 2005-06-07 23:06:24 2005-06-07 23:06:24 3 43464 hi Dought Dwane was there unfortunetly, Merl is sourced as being present, But the star in mix is Dicky, That's alright mama is hopping, i always thought that Goin down the road could easly extend into a Blue Sky seemlessly. The Levels may not be cranked, but they are great, and should be of no reason not to download and enjoy, RFK, Kezar and Rosevelt sound like one big party to me : ) Butch Trucks on drums fits very well by the way with billy. response to Jimmy X rollandfin 2005-06-23 17:49:49 2005-06-11 15:24:33 5 45096 Beginnings of "Beat it" and "Around" are cut and faded in. Large portions of the "Dark Star > Sugar Magnolia" segment are almost buried in the noise floor. A 2 db gain still doesn't help the vocals here. Wharf Rat could even be broadcast without the FCC going crazy over the language. My old SB MC is better than this... Needs More Work cousinkix1953 2005-07-02 04:00:08 2005-07-02 03:57:25 3 46115 In my opinion, this show is decent. But for those who might be new to the Grateful Dead and have come to this show because of the high number of downloads, I would suggest trying the 5-8-77 Cornell show first. That being said, the That’s Alright Mama is first rate. I think most of the second and third sets is pretty good, too. Decent jgariano 2005-07-14 23:52:40 2005-07-14 23:42:23 3 46497 What a concert guys. This is not underated or overated it is just a damn nice show that calm's the soul when you need it most. Five hours of music is allways a comfort and it's even better knowing that it's the band you love. Can I say that that is a kickin birdsong. The sound is good very nice to listen to, this is a good year for the boys. NICE!!!!!!!!! jerseyfolk 2005-07-20 14:38:16 2005-07-20 14:38:16 5 46108 That's what I feel for this show. ...Just love it to peaces! I've been burning new bands from this site like a mad man for almost a year now, but I almost forgot how wonderful the Grateful Dead was. The other people who reviewed this show before me were complaining about sound quality. I think that's absurd! This recording was made over 32 years ago! Get a grip! What do you expect? Of course your microphones sound this good, but they weren't made over 30 years ago either. C'mon now, this show sounds great! It's older than almost everyone who'll be writing a review on it too. Thank goodness for archive, AND the Grateful Dead! I've listened to this show three times today and MAN I wish I could've been there! What a great time the lucky people must have had at this show! I couldn't POSSIBLY be more envious. At least I have it on disc.-Terrapinbrad Love!! terrapinbrad 2005-08-01 14:06:08 2005-07-14 20:20:09 5 47396 I was very fortunate to have attended, in the summer of 1973, the June 9 & 10 shows at RFK, the Watkins Glen event, both shows (7/31 and 8/1)@ Roosevelt Stadium, and both shows @ Nassau Coliseum in September '73. The DC shows were my first, and although by many counts my total of shows (33) is small, that first summer was a doozer (doser?) I agree with Terrapin Brad - these shows were recorded so long ago that any artifact from them is a wonderful gift! The sound quality is what you want to hear - let the music play! Summer Of 1973 Bugz 2005-08-01 15:31:55 2005-08-01 15:31:55 5 48134 having used computers and the net for everything but music downloads, and losing touch with my dead shows(on cassettes)for several years, a recent discovery of an old tape (Palo Alto,'73) made me realize I needed to find my all time favorite show that I could only remember was also a '73 and had Eyes into Stella. So a google later I found the archive and immediately see this show as a prolific download! I am so happy I could pee myself! oh my god! jthang4 2005-08-11 09:37:03 2005-08-11 09:37:03 5 48136 That's a heartwarming tale, but you have plenty of work ahead of you. Re: Lewis/Klitschko 2005-08-11 09:55:07 2005-08-11 09:55:07 5 48102 A really fabulous Eyes of the World easing into Stella Blue -- a definate highlight. I love the fast They Love Each Other from this period. Also a great Bird Song. Jerry is hot all night, not just in the jam songs, but even on standards like Big River. A very interesting use of Jerry's wah-wah pedal on Here Comes Sunshine, which has also some nice Phil. Only three months after Pigpen's passing and they're moving on into the next phase. Can't go back and can't stand still -- it made 'em great. Stella! L.

Dark Star>He's Gone>Wharf Rat>Truckin is great. As well as Eyes>Stella. Oh hell, the whole thing is great. Give it a listen and enjoy.

This was my second (out of about 30) Dead concerts (my first was Baltimore Civic Center (9-72). This recording proves that listening to the Dead depends totally on your state of mind and mood. The first few times I heard it, I thought the sound quality sucked (was flat), then ... driving to the beach (about 3 hours) I listened to it with the background noise of wind through the windows (which in a strange way minimized the sound quality blemishes), and I was on a flashback to the state of mind while I was there that day in 1973. Garcia and Lesh are absolutely in a parallel universe (and universes parallel to each other as well) during the breaks on certain songs (They Love Each Other/Loose Lucy). These are songs I generally don't prefer. But it just proves that the Dead can inject a mindblast into the break of any songs they play (favorites or not). What is amazing about the Dead is after 30 years of listening to them, I have never tired of their music, and am always hearing something new I haven't heard in live performances that I have listened to a hundred times or more. As I said, Ithe music changes with your state of mind. One of the most awesome days of my life terpstation 2005-08-28 18:12:47 2005-08-28 18:12:47 5 50203 Eternal, ethereal, and beautiful show…..The King is Dead, Long Live Jerry The Eternal YES mackdaddy_va 2005-09-07 14:50:14 2005-09-07 14:50:14 5 50968 a testament of what Greateful Dead means precious treasure madcap 2005-09-17 04:09:56 2005-09-17 04:09:56 5 51486 no, i was not at the show. i wasnt born yet. but my first download/review. im more interested in sound quality. and since it was the most downloaded show, i thought id have nothing to lose. the sound is awesome, and the show is amazing. ill definitly be downloading some more shows. sound is awesome on this show first gd show..... triplethreat112 2005-09-23 15:45:20 2005-09-23 15:45:20 5 51597 Well, I was at this show and I remember it like yesterday. Garcia was never more in command and loose. Now that this download is available I can finally get rid of the 30 year-old nth generation, decayed bootleg cassette I have of this show. Unforgettable skibida 2005-09-25 16:50:24 2005-09-25 16:50:24 5 51779 I'm not going to add to anything that's been said about this show...the music speaks for itself & anyone who cares about American music ought to own this show. It's worth mentioning, and I hope archive.org doesn't have a policy against this, that the good folks at Sugarmegs -- tela.sugarmegs.org -- have the ABB's performance from this show. It's in real audio format, so you'll have to either record it to wave or use realplayer's premium burning service to get it to cd. The ABB's sets aren't as flawlessly executed as The Dead's, but they're worth having all the same. cheers rest of venue kidstardust 2005-09-27 21:20:51 2005-09-27 21:20:51 5 52473 dark star...he's gone..lovely. classic RFK in my book. gotta love it..gotta get it. yes aint no time to hate 2005-10-06 19:24:38 2005-10-06 19:24:38 4 52474 dark star...he's gone..lovely. classic RFK in my book. gotta love it..gotta get it. yes aint no time to hate 2005-10-06 19:25:24 2005-10-06 19:25:24 4 53229 Looks Like Rain just made me cry.

The number of times I simply got lost in Bird Song and Eyes and Dark Star is uncountable. The third set can certainly be a stand alone show of covers. Everything about this show is pure brilliance. ............. sarraqum 2005-10-17 04:56:27 2005-10-17 04:56:27 5 53543 This showm simply put, ranks among the highest quality dead shows/experiences out there. Throw the Allman Bros. in the mix, and you have a pure american classic. ENJOY! but damn, download, this shit is gold !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! justincr4wley 2005-10-20 11:26:54 2005-10-20 11:26:54 5 53545 My old friend Robert T used to tell me about being at this show. God rest your soul Robert. How's the weed in heaven. Best part of shows like these is I turned it on this morning at 7:30 when I got to work. Listening in between conference calls and interviews and meetings. In the background on some of the calls. It's now 3:30 and I feel like i've gone through the whole trip and deserve the big rock and roll finale. and maybe something cold in the parking lot is waiting for me. and Robert. This one's for Robert Geoffsky 2005-10-20 12:12:23 2005-10-20 12:10:31 5 54104 Really just a super show. Not the best...but really great and pretty special with Dicky and Butch sitting in for the last set. Not the best quality...sound is a bit thin for my taste...but hey. who cares? The show is so good it does not matter. Great show! hyperboy 2005-10-27 06:35:13 2005-10-27 06:35:13 4 41995 It’s about time someone posted a comprehensive review of the most popular and downloaded live recording on the internet! ==================================== DATE: 1973-06-10 VENUE: Robert F. Kennedy Stadium LOCATION: Washington, D.C. SOURCE: Soundboard GENEALOGY: MR > RR > RR > DAT LENGTH: 4:35:16 QUALITY: A- HIGHLIGHTS: Morning Dew, The Race Is On, Row Jimmy, Playing in the Band, Entire 2nd & 3rd sets GUESTS: Members of the ABB and Merl Saunders for the entire 3rd Set. ==================================== This was the last of the four three-set shows that the Dead played to kick off the summer of 1973; they were among the longest ever played. The second of two nights co-headlining with the Allman Brothers Band at RFK stadium, this show appentealy kicked off at around 7 P.M. and lasted until about 2 A.M. During the evening the band managed about four and a half hours of music that covered the full range of styles and influences that they could call on at that time, generally played to the highest standard. MORNING DEW: You can hear the excitement of the crowd as they open the show with a majestic and measured “Morning Dew.” As far as we know this has been the only been done three times since the nineteen sixties. Garcia is in fine voice, which always makes a lot of difference to this tune. BEAT IT ON DOWN THE LINE: Then Bob and Donna turn up the energy for ÃÃÃÂÂ
