It's hard to believe that it was 33 years ago that I attended these, my first 3 night stand of shows, at the then open-air Universal Ampitheater. I took a different date each night, one of whom later became my wife, while the other two remain close friends to this day. I had only seen the Dead once before, Dec. 15, 1972 in Long Beach, so this was my first true immersion into the Dead Show Experience.

Classic 73. Powerful yet sublime - it gets a 5 for overall excellence. Beautiful recording, nice ambience. Hard driving and jamming Cumberland Blues has to be one of the most electrifying versions of the song recorded and a very notable 20 minute version of Eyes where Kieth and Jerry show off their amazing interplay is tops. Jerry sears the soul in Stella Blue, singing very soft and soulful.

This Dark Star frightens me, and I'm scared to listen to it in my sleep, for fear it might stab me in the face or some other such nonsense. Luckily, as soon as the Dark Star is getting a little too violent, the Eyes comes along and says "Hey buddy, no need to be mean, leave the poor kid alone", and makes everyone smile and dance. This show has a plethora of other highlights: Playin', Bird Song, Cumberland, Stella Blue, etc.
