Dead of the Day: April 2, 1973http://gratefuldeadoftheday.com/04-02-1973 Boston Garden Boston, Massachusetts When you get up around three dozens songs in a show and the Dead are this on, you cannot pass it up. The recording – and perhaps the sound at the show – starts off with some difficulties, as you can barely hear Bobby during Promised Land. But from then on out, the sound is immaculate, and the band keeps firing. Things turn up a notch with the Box of Rain. Then, a song later, the Dead deliver one of the best China> Riders; neither tune – like most of the rest of the show – is stretched out all that far, but the whole suite is exquisite. On China Cat, Jerry’s guitar is piercingly beautiful, creating tremendously powerful moments of emotion and pure joy. The playing carries over and transforms perfectly in the Rider, striking a deep vein of Dead hope, strength, and passion. Unfortunately, Donna’s vocals in You Ain’t Woman Enough are a bit painful; it was still fairly early in her tenure with the band, and she was working without being able to hear herself in the mix. The band does not skip a beat, however, and closes out the set with a phenomenal Playin’. The second half has much of the same splendor as the earlier set, at least until the band rolls out Here Come Sunshine, which vaults them to a different level altogether. They roll through that tune, building intensity in the shared vocals of each chorus while Phil and the drummers driving everyone on. The song devolves into a crazy, spacey jam that eventually morphs into a perfectly rendered Me and Bobby McGee. After a half second of hesitation, the boys launch into the prelude to Weather Report Suite, only to think better of it and smoothly transition into an epic Eyes> China Doll that does not look back. This night’s show was the Dead’s first trip to the legendary Boston Garden. They would end up playing twenty-four shows at the venue over the years. However, the band already had a six-show run scheduled for September 1995 at the time of Garcia’s death. There was a ten-year period through the eighties where the Dead did not play the venue, reportedly because the Garden’s manager caught them grilling lobsters on a fire escape before the show. After he tossed all their lobsters in the trash, the boys vowed never to return. But somehow they made their way back in 1991 for a lengthy six-show stop. At this 1973 show, the floor must have been open for general admission. After the Row Jimmy, in an attempt to get people to move back from the stage, Bobby gets on the mike and, in his deadpan style, tells everyone that they “just let loose a bushel of spiders, big fat tarantulas” up front.

....any card. My card for today is Vegas 5.29.92. Sounds even better than I "remember" it. Healy on top of his game....the only thing hotter than the weather was the band. Thank God....

Heartfelt accolades on your mentioning of Danny Gatton here, one of the most underrated, overlooked guitarists of our times... PM me if you want a copy of The Birchmere, Alexandria VA, 6/10/88, sitting in my collection. Damn! Never seen Danny Gatton mentioned on these here pages before, good on you ;)
