    Another great show!
    2nd Dead show I attended. Went the day before. Nothing like attending an Allman Brothers Band and Grateful Dead show! They played about 12 hours the day before, but I was too wasted to remember how long they played on Sunday. lol Back then, concerts lasted really long, and you certainly got your money's worth. I was only 17 at the time, and had just graduated from Langley High School in McLean, VA that summer. What a great way to celebrate one's graduation by going to RFK Stadium to see the Allman Bro's and Dead play, who, without question, are two of the greatest 'live' bands ever! Just doesn't get any better than that. Too bad Jerry is gone because even though the Dead still tour, they definitely miss his voice and guitar playing. No doubt about it! Also went to the '87 show at RFK where Dylan and Tom Petty opened before the Dead came on. What a hot day that was during that show! PEACE-OUT!

    Drove down from NY...
    ...for the show with a bunch of friends from college. We were seated down on the infield not too far from the stage and I was never so scorching hot in my life. Actually, it was dangerously hot. If not for water being distributed and thrown on us (by who I have no idea), there might have been real health issues. I was fairly wasted and what I remember as much as the show was the pre-show sound track being played. Though B.B.King and Janis were two of my favorites, they never sounded better to me than that afternoon waiting for the boys (and Donna) to take the stage. And, of course, the show was great.

    My First Show
    Seems this was a day of firsts. This was a wild scene on a hot day in DC. An incredible introduction to the Dead, and have been a Dead Head ever since. Have been to over 100 shows since, and get to Phil, Ratdog and DSO shows whenever possible.

If you release it, I will buy it! 6/9/73 too. And 6/22. And other shows from this tour. And other tours. From other years. But 6/10/73, because this is a fun forum thing. Thanks!

Dave. People will buy, Dave. They'll sign in from everywhere for reasons they can't even fathom. They'll follow their fingers not knowing for sure why they're doing it. They'll arrive at your order screen as innocent as children, longing for the past. "Of course, we won't mind if you shop around", you'll say. "It's only $75 for the box set". They'll pass over the money without even thinking about it, for it is money they have and shows they lack. And they'll bask in the sunshine; wandering through the cosmos on a perfect summer afternoon. They'll find they have perfect sight lines among the general admission faithful, where they danced when they were young. And they'll listen to the release and it'll be as if they dipped themselves in magic waters. The memories will be so thick they'll have to brush them away from their faces. People will buy, Dave. The one constant through all the years, Dave, has been the Dead. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It has been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt and erased again. But the Dead have marked the time. This mindset, this band, this show; it's a part of our past, Dave. It reminds us of all that once was good, and that could be again. Oh … people will buy, Dave. People will most definitely buy. RIP JPB ... wheel to the storm and fly.

Count me in as buying this on day one! I would also suggest adding in the Watkins Glen sets from The Band and The Allmans to make for a killer Box Set. That should receive a great amount of press (biggest concert ever released!!!) leading to strong sales...regardless, RFK 6-10-73 the most necessary and then the others if doable. Thank you!!!

.... but to do so without the 6/9 show and the Allman's sets would be tragic. I know that requires diplomacy and royalties, but, whatever it takes, please "get your hands out of your pockets"! (same needs to happen with Watkins Glen and also needs to include The Band's contribution, but perhaps that would best be saved for another set)

I concur with the proposal to release this show ASAP (if it’s in The Vault). Incredible show!
