Guest sit-in
Dickey Betts, Butch Trucks — Allman Brothers members sit in for the third set of the longest show the Dead ever played, over four hours. The ABB opened the bill that day at RFK; Dickey Betts trades solos on That's Alright Mama.

My pick for the longest show they ever played, over 4 hours. The Allman Brothers opened, and Dickey Betts and Butch Trucks come out in the third set. Morning Dew as the opener is stellar. Strong soloing at the end of Looks Like Rain. Really funky, upbeat They Love Each Other, might be my current favorite version honestly. 22 minute Eyes to start the second set into Stella Blue. Straight fire. 30 minute Dark Star into an almost 15 minute, stellar He's Gone. It Takes a Lot to Laugh is so damn good to start the third set, into a smoking That's Alright, Mama with Dickey soloing his a** off. I am biased and love ABB too, but this show is just spectacular.

1973 is one of my favorite Dead era's and this show is a great representation of this year. The first set has a diverse mix of songs. Morning Dew kicked off the night and the energy level continued to grow with BIODTL. I dig any Wave That Flag simply because of the contextual importance it had to the Dead's repertoire, eventually becoming US Blues. A particularly brain melting Playin' with one of the best Eyes ever performed following.

This was the first Gratefule Dead show for my wife and I. We got married a week later. The show was enhanced for both of us and my mind was completely blown apart by the music. I had no idea why the music souned so strange at the time but Phil had his guitar wired each string to four huge stacks of speakers about 70 yards from the stage. He played with the stadium echo during Playing in the Band and I haven't been the same since.

We drove down from UMASS. Saturday Dead came on mid afternoon it was hot as heck bright sun 90's. Early in the set a lady climbed up on stage and handed Jerry a big red rose stem. Jerry put it between his death playing "Deal". IT was truly a love fest no problems or violnece. The people on the infield were baking in the hot sun they turned on the fire hoses and began spraying the crowd. We moved up into the stands under the roof out of the sun.
