Offered here is the " 1973 " CD Set ( Brand New ! ) from inside the Legendary ! Grateful Dead " 30 Trips Around The Sun " Box Set - released in 2015 in direct conjunction with the much anticipated " 50-Years ! Celebration of The Grateful Dead " ( 1965 - 2015 ) ... GD 50 !!! And, to honor this Landmark ! Rock & Roll Achievement - Grateful Dead Productions / Rhino released a Limited Edition Box Set ( of 6,500 units ) - to rightfully ' Commemorate ' " '65 "! And in unprecedented ( & So-Cool ! ) fashion ... this Monster Box Set included Thirty ( 30 ) Grateful Dead Shows on Thirty ( 30 ) CD Sets ( 80-CD's in total ) - and, each CD Set represents the sequential years of the Band's 30-Year development ... from 1966 to 1995 ! Obviously, this was a " Deadheads Dream " type Box Set - for the Beyond-Special occasion ... of 50-Years Upon Our Heads ! Fantastic, to say the least ... Wow !!! And, for the 30 Trips " 1973 " 3-CD Set selection offered here ... " WOW !!!! ". But, you know - why, really ... as This ! is the " 1973 " Grateful Dead " 30-Trips " Selection !! And ... it is just Killer !!! I was way-well ' familar ' with this Fall Tour '73 San Diego Sports Arena Live-Dead night - really, dating all the way back since I was a kid in the Late-'80's. And why ? Well, at least for me personally ... I was on a sheer 1973 " Mission " to actively & aggressively find All ! of those ' Signature ' Grateful Dead Live Segue Transtions - where that one-of-a-kind G.D. Magic ! is just being born. As quite frankly, Shows like say ... UCLA '73 !!! ( just ' think ' Playin' > Uncle John's > Morning Dew > !!! > Uncle John's > Playin' !!!!! ) were really-changing my life as a young Dead Fan ( and they still-are ! here today ). But, one quick look at the Setlist of this 11/14/73 San Diego Show - and with ease ... the " Truckin' > Other One ! > Big River > Other One !! > Eyes > Other One !!! > Wharf Rat " will catch your Eye ! That's exactly what it did to me, and that's exactly why too ... that I found 11/14/1973 in the way-early Days of my " '73 Hunt ! ". And believe me ... there is Much-More ! going on inside this night of Solid ! & " Fluid !! " G.D. Magic then just the near Show-end Finale. Without any more eloquent way of saying it ... This ! is Such !! a " Grate !!! " '73 Dead Show to ' Proudly-Represent ' the " 1973 Year " for 30-Trips. And, before even talking about Song-by-Song reasons & specifics - it's far important to establish up-from that This-Show is indeed a " Jerry Night ! ". Not to say that everyone in the Band isn't pretty much " Totally " on the mark - because they are. But ... This ! is just one of those ( many ) Shows in this " Prime-Dead " Era where Garcia has come to Play For Keeps ! And too ... this is just a 31-Year Old ?!? Jerry at this point too - delivering the Sheer-Magic ! - him & the ' new toy ' ... his Doug Irwin " Wolf " Guitar. So-so Special ... Sugaree - H.C. Sunshine !! - Cumberland - Row Jimmy - B.E. Women - and, just as already earlier-stated ... Truckin' > Other One ! > Big River > Other One !! > Eyes > Other One !!! > Wharf Rat. Just Amazing Live-Perfection in a Bottle !! And too, not to mention - the China > Rider !!! This Show truly defines the term " Solid-Throughout " - as this is just one of Dead Nights that they are " After-It " ... and with Garcia's energy so spot-on & infectious - everybody can easily tell that This ! was an active night where the '73 Grateful Dead would indeed grow as a Team ! '73 " Uni-Drummer " G.D. at it's Absolute-Finest ! ... in just their " 8th Year " as a Band together - and just around 2-years after the loss of Pigpen. Such a Transitional time for the Dead, and to this day - though I can fully understand - it's just still amazing that a " Hiatus " was taken which in all reality could have possibly ' ended ' the Grateful Dead. Well, you know - at least " as the Story goes ". As the simple fact is ... there was no-way to put an end to This-Magic !! Truly ... As in fact, I'll go as far as saying that this 11/14/73 Show is probably ' easily ' a " Top-15 " from the Highly-Competitive Grateful Dead Year of 1973. It's so-so-Solid ! all-throughout to the point that it really has no chinks in it's armor - and really holds it's own. Big-League ! '73 Live-Dead !! ... in The Golden State !!! -- Enjoy !!!!!
