Encore:

Notes:

1) There is occasional static, particularly during the earlier portion of set 1. 

2) AUD cuts during songs are as follows:
	1. Bertha (Not used for matrixing due to a poor mono sound)
	2. Bird Song (8 patches throughout; see note #4)
	3. The Race is On (0:01-0:23; see note #4)
	4. China Cat Sunflower (entire song)
	5. I Know You Rider (2:01 - 3:12; see note #4)
	6. Playing in the Band (14:38-15:01)
	7. El Paso (entire song)
	8. Nobody's Fault But Mine Jam (1:56-2:34)   
	9. Sugar Magnolia (3:23-4:58)

3) Because the shnid=85957 SBD patches sounded "not so good" with the AUD, and fluctuated in speed from the PCM source, no matrixing was done with the 85957 SBD patches. (Be very patient with the 16 warbly transitions in Bird Song. Such a shame for one of the best Bird Songs ever - surely the best of '73.)

4) Seemingly, the AUD opens up more for Mexicali Blues onward - more field range? - wherein the matrix becomes optimal, yet it seems to get even more optimal as the show progresses. (Dead shows can have that tendency.)

5) There is a noticeable shift in tone in the Nobody's Fault But Mine Jam (0:31), and a brief warble, when the SBD track shifts to the second major SBD source used. I fade out the AUD for a moment to regain momentum.   

6) I preferred leaving some extended SBD segments between songs (without AUD available) in for timing and/or break purposes.

7) There is some belief, as indicated in several reviews below, that the AUD is a matrix. I do not believe so, but maybe this just happens to be a double matrix source!

8) These were pretty cutty sources for a matrix, but it's 1973, so...At least you can compare the sources some in your four hours of listening pleasure. 

9) There's a "Long live the Grateful Dead!" cheer in the SBD right before the matrix kicks in for Black Peter.

TWENTY-FIVE FIVE-STAR REVIEWS AT THE ARCHIVES!:


Reviewer: J. Jonah Jameson - 5 out of 5 stars - June 15, 2004
Subject: Pretty Tasty!

A very nice performance, and a very tasty AUD recording. Ahhh, the glory days of the Grateful Dead. A few blemishes here and there, but overall a very nice, rich recording. Amazing quality, and an exceptional performance. Does it deserve 5 stars? Why not?

Reviewer: southernflavour - 5 out of 5 stars - November 13, 2004
Subject: one of the best

this show is truly one of the best. It's great hearing this (extremely good) audience tape. with so many great soundboards from this era, it's refreshing to get this perspective.

Reviewer: Mike Zichella - 5 out of 5 stars - November 24, 2004
Subject: -

In my humble opinion...
This show is absolutly amazing. If you like turning the lights down low and laying back and mellowing out, than you absolutly, definitly, positivly have to hear this show. Phil is really creative (even by his standards), Jerry is humble and gentle, and everybody else lays it down tightly and creatively. It's great music to zone into. The mix is perfect for almost the entire show (except for some rude patches).

I'm totaly suprised that more folks aren't raving about this show. Not to compare, BUT it's better than June 10, 1973. I hope you try this show.

This is without a doubt one of the most electrifying shows that I've heard. Tops 3 of the 70's! Audience patches fill the holes beautifully. Music from this concert will STONE you! Get it Pronto....

in a year full of absolutely stellar shows, this is a hidden gem. my mission in life is to proselytize this show among the unfortunate who have not heard the monster second set jam. from he's gone on is as good as it gets. great aud and praise allah for it because the sbd cuts out in the middle of the jam.

Reviewer: lilrichwhiteboy - 5 out of 5 stars - April 29, 2005
Subject: Very Nice Audience Show.

Although the sound in the beginning is a bit inconsistant, fading in and out in Bertha. A very nice show. Check out the Bird Song in the other SBD source. It's spectacular.

-------------------------------------------------------

Reviewer: Stargazin - 5 out of 5 stars - May 2, 2005
Subject: Great Solstice Show

The jam from the Phil Zone into The Other One!
Jerry's solo & Phil and Keith's reemergence are divinely futuristic, one of the places in the Dead world that is pure and timeless, it clearly evokes 1977 and 1969 right smack dab in the middle of the 7. We used to call this one
Truckin up to BC Jam...
check out Keith's Chick Corea-esque circles around 5 minutes in to the jam, and Phil & Jerry's spirited, timely re-entries... this one ROLLS up to BC on golden chariot clouds.
Jerry taps into some really inspired playing throughout the whole show. Hey Archive, more stars please!
The Dead are lots of 6 to 7, I give this one a 6.
BTW, I used to have a SBD tape of this show and I prefer this great audience recording. If you like 6-10-73, check out how the boys followed it up, they're takin it to the next level here.

Reviewer: Hage - 5 out of 5 stars - January 30, 2006
Subject: There Are 5 Star Shows...

and there are 5 Star Shows -- This is a 5 STAR SHOW!!! Beautiful versions of many songs - love the Looks Like Rain, Race Is On, interesting Bird Song and others; nice Phil Jam near the end. The Band was definitely on and even Donna fit in nicely - excellent harmonies. This one is not to be missed. Also, except for a small portion of Bertha, the sound quality is excellent.
-------------------------------------------------------

Reviewer: mid-maine - 5 out of 5 stars - April 27, 2006
Subject: great recording, no joke

this recording is unreal! unlike the providence, boston and other '73 aud recordings, there is little audience interference here. perhaps the sound of the room was better than boston garden (gee, that can't be too tough) and providence civic, and the mics had better position, but it must be the mellowness of the audience too (ah, no fireworks for instance).

by the way, i'm not writing this because i suddenly converted to audience recordings after archive pulled the boards. i've always been an aud fan, and this quality is better than an ouade tape from the '80s. my guess is that this is due to the fact that the wall of sound produced such full and rich tones.

if the dead were ever to release a complete audience recording, imho, this would be it. phat jams, prime '73 form, killer audience. in a sense, this is richer than the board because we get the warmth of the room.

Subject: Birdsong Freakout

Well...the reviews below confirm what I thought: a legendary Birdsong, a top 5 Playin'..., a Super good Truckin'--->Other One--->Jam--->Phil Solo--->Jam--->Other One---> and so on 'til the end of show, including a Sug Mags--->Sunshine Daydream that I 95% blowoff- But not here.
PK Listen- the soundboard is NOT available (which I agree with the Dead's change in policy: it's their legacy and we still have most of the auds as ours- cool?, so you MUST download this show. Is it just me but the PA+room acoustics mix together to sound like something like heaven. Seriously- check out Birdsong to confirm.
One of the best available GD shows hands down currently available for download. Thanks Bobby, Phil, Bill and Mickey!!

Reviewer: grendelschoice - 5 out of 5 stars - June 19, 2006
Subject: Top 3 Birdsong and more

Keeo coming back to this show because a) it's a real good AUD--not pristine & clean like a SBD, but LOUD and on target w/all band members represented & good vocals, unlike so many AUDS, and b) just look at the set-list.

Classic '73 show, and one of the top 3 Birdsong's you'll ever hear. A must for all Jerry/Birdsong freaks.

Reviewer: tree-ap - 5 out of 5 stars - October 10, 2006
Subject: UNBELIEVABLE SHOW!!

I generally only get to listen to shows at work through inferior computer speakers, so I usually don't get to "hear" all of the nuances of the shows. But yesterday, I was able to listen with headphones, and I WAS BLOWN AWAY!!! I speculate that this copy COULD be a SNDBRD and AUD copy spliced together---it's a little TOO CLEAR to be just an AUD. You can hear EVERYONE on stage clearly, though the sound does get kinda skeevy for a couple songs after PITB, but comes back nicely.
I'm sure most of remember where we were & what we were doing when we heard our 1st show from the Honey Year of '73. I was driving w/friends smoking some GREAT hash when someone pulled out the Stanford show from 2/9 & started it just before Black Throated Wind. I believe Beer Barrel Polka was next---and I've not been the same since. I also got a copy of Cornell the same night---it was almost too much to handle. Anyway, this show made it seem as if I'd lost my cherry to the GD all over again. I think I may have found my favorite Birdsong, and PITB had certain quality that I'd not heard before.
That this copy can be downloaded still is great. You're missing one of, if not THE greatest shows of this INCREDIBLE year in the GD's history. But don't take mine, or anyone else's word as gospel---listen to it yourself...LISTEN...

Reviewer: rollandfin - 5 out of 5 stars - November 7, 2006
Subject: Great Stuff

I find this show very listenable, it's nastalgic to me not cause I was there ( i wasn't) but because it's one i had on cassette about 10 years ago, and lost, and it's great to reconnect, can you relate?
The P.N.E. stands for Pacific National Exibition, an event held every summer at a dedicated ground on the east side of Vansterdam, I googled a poster for the show online, which reads May 5th? wonder what happened, Also of interest the poster showed a picture of Jerry,Bob,Phil,Billy&Keith, no Donna? same pic on other posters that year. The Festival express in 1970 never pushed west of Calgary so perhaps this was the make up gig. This is IMO the difinitive Canadian Show, wish they would have crossed the boarder more often.

The Playing is Great,
this is the Bird Song of the Year, the Box of Rain is the version i hear in my head, and the Sunshine is ripe. He's gone moves well, as it did all year, and the patch in the other one is not as bad as some would lead you to believe.

Oh ya and they played Black Peter, cosider this, BP was preformed once in europe72 and only 12 times after, and about 6 or so in 1977, and how many are monstershows/dick's picks???

Reviewer: Valley Vista - 5 out of 5 stars - December 18, 2006
Subject: WOW

Haven't heard this in years, and wow, what a memory! About 25 years ago I discovered this tape and in amongst all the incredible music one moment has always stood out to my ears. There is a jam after Phil's solo that is very distinct. About 8:30 into this jam it gets absolutely SUBLIME and the next minute or is one of the most unique, complex and totally remarkable pieces of jazzy improvisation the band ever produced (IMO, of course). I cannot recall in all of the thousands of tapes and recordings I've heard anything that even remotely sounds like this moment in time. It is out there...If anybody knows of any jam where they fell into something similar, I'd be very interested to know about it. Enoy this incredible recording!

Subject: One of the very best, in any year

This is one of the desert island shows for me. Yes, the Bird Song is incredible. Yes, the He's Gone is incredible (the outro!). Yes, the segue jamming is incredible and inspired.

But has everyone listened closely to the Black Peter? Seriously. That is the key to understanding what makes this show so amazing. The music between the notes. Phil's harmonies on the bridge. The tenderness, people. Touch the tenderness.

Reviewer: Bear in 29206 - 5 out of 5 stars - June 4, 2007
Subject: Aud? maybe not, but DAMN!

I've been way too slow to put my 2 cents about this show and, more importantly this version, of this show.

It is one of the cream of the crop downloads I have favored for the last few years...bar none!

Yes, there is a hint of a sbd component to it, but who cares!

The sound and the playing merge together on this one more than normal. It, they, are liquid in so many of the cuts.

Yes, there are a few audio blemishes (cut outs, oh gee, it's mono for the first 30 seconds of Here Comes Sunshine then, WHOA!, back into stereo space (it suffers because of this???)

NOT!

As said before me, the set list, combined with an incredibly jazzy, loose, simple, yet mesmerizing sound makes this a keeper from all the years!

Download the SHN version and know you have the best!

Subject: MY ALL TIME FAVORITE SHOW

I Have TO agree with all the other great reviews of this show. I got this on cassette in the middle 70's and wore it out. Every song is relaxed but brilliant. Bird Song ,HCS, Playing,Truckin-OO all are incredible versions. If I could have one show to take to Venus this would be it. Much Aloha to the Band and all who make this possible.

Reviewer: Liamfinnegan - 5 out of 5 stars - January 22, 2008
Subject: Love this show

I am stingy with the 5 star ratings, because if I am not, it becomes meaningless. But this would be a 4.7 easy. I love this Playin in the Band- and most everything else I have heard. Quality is amazing for this time period

And is the Phil solo in the scond set the longest any one has ever heard?

All this time later and so much more listening under my belt- I am changing this to a 5 - and it is well worth it- still love the PITB- but now I am wowed by the HCSunshine- top 3 for me for sure

Reviewer: TwinD - 5 out of 5 stars - March 5, 2008
Subject: It's been awhile

I seen it's been about nine months since anybody bothered to mention again what a great show this is and how nice the recording (for a 1973 aud) is.

Consider this a reminder.
