Notes

Missing "Promised Land"
patched from gd73-10-27.sbd.wier.16583.sbeok.shnf -- funny thing is that this SBD source is also missing "Promised Land" has an unknown AUD source as a patch as well. :)

"Sugaree" is missing the first 20 seconds and is mono for the next 15 seconds, so the first 60 seconds is a matrix SBD-AUD patch using gd73-10-27.sbd.wier.16583.sbeok.shnf

There are a few songs that have the first notes clipped, as the recording deck was turned on and off to save tape. Left as is.

All other tape flips were patched with SBD as well.
Also note, the SBD source stops in the middle of "Wharf Rat", with the last three songs missing.

I sure enjoy this audience recording. It adds liveliness to the concert experience, compared to the soundboard I have. Is there anyone who recalls the big guy that climbed up on stage during the show? I think it was during Greatest Story, which really smoked!! Keith was on fire, on the piano.

What an absolute treat to find this show. Hearing the opening lines really takes me back. I can recall walking in with a fine crew of friends looking for a place to sit just as they broke into Promised Land. It's worth noting that this evening did not have the jazzy, free-form feel that many of that year did. This one was country thru and thru, with some rock and roll tossed in for good measure. So, If you like the country side of the Dead, this show is for you. And, if you really want a taste of how emotive and beautiful Jerry could be (with both voice and guitar), give Sugaree a few good listens.

Big, big thanks to the guys who recorded it.

(And, yes, I'm sure we all can agree that the recording is not the greatest but I'll tell you from experience - it sounded exactly like this in that big barn of an auditorium.)

This recording will satisfy. This really is a lot better than the antiseptic SBD's from this era. Not for every one but good.

Every night I work in the office and usually let the inter archive spin the roulette wheel for my listening pleasure while I work. Well...what a treat tonight....this is my 1st ever Dead show.
I was 15 and my girlfriend's brother took us. The setlist is fantastic and the memories are better. Got on the bus 10-27-73 and I'm still taking the ride ! At least I'm enjoying the ride !

Thanx David, Matt, and Derek. Decent recording with some definite highlights. Nobody's Fault, 29 beats before Beat It, funky Loose Lucy, and Wharf Rat>Stella. Big River actually flows into Playing Reprise as does the Wharf>Stella. I am playing Loose Lucy and Uncle John's on my radio show this week. Peace
