Great show. I was also at the September 1972 show, which is now a Dick's Pick Vol. 23.
I think of the two that I saw in Baltimore the 1973 show was better. Donna Jean belted out Playing in the Band, and one extended Jam really tore the house down.
That summer I saw them at RFK.
Good year for Concerts.
We were so far up front you could lift your feet off the ground and stay upright. These kids (maybe 13 years old - black city kids) pushed their way up to the stage, then turned around and came charging back. I felt a hand in my back pocket but by the time I reacted the kid was ten people back and gone. I was in no condition to attempt a chase. Fuck it. the show was great and this was in the days before credit cards.
I still remember the revolving mirror ball during "Playing in the Band" that evening, but Wolf Man Jack introducing the second set was an amazing way to lead into the line honoring him in the next song. I'm listening to this show right now for the fist time since that evening all those years ago and being very grateful for the archivists who made this possible. Thank you all--and congratulations on the big article in today's NEW YORK TIMES. I'm also thankful I got to see Mr. Garcia play with Old and in the Way here in my home state of Virginia...but that's another story...
