Debut of Garcia guitar The Cobra. Didn't play it much but you can hear its unique qualities.

this tape was a pride and joy of my collection back in those days, and here it is in all is glory, extended tuning and everything.
just one of the great shows.

...it's taken me a very long time to write this. And, I shouldn't be so hard on myself, because so much has happened. That to be here now seems like an arrival, even though I am someone completely different. Maybe in order to truly understand what this tape offered I couldn't be who I was. And, despite, I could run through a sequence of adjectives and messy phrases which might entitle me into the perspective necessary, but I would rather imagine for myself the experience, sounds unfamiliar that were created aLL of those years ago at Kezar. It's amazing and so inspiring to have these at our free disposal to enhance, build, protect...

I will give this show 5 stars on it's 48th anniversary. Thanks for analog tapes. Thank you Betty Cantor-Jackson and thank you Grateful Dead.

Glad to revisit this show
it has been a few years.
I guess my question has to be:

a complete show------------check
excellent sound-------------double check
and it is 1973----------------check
How in the world does it not get 5 stars?

This is a hometown show from
the Greatest Rock N Roll Band ever
IN THEIR PRIME laying down 33 tunes.

Regarding some of the reviews of shows on the archive
Not that I don't learn a thing or two
from our more astute and studied reviewers
but sometimes it is just swell
to wuff, and howl like a fool.
