A Spring Tour'73 Mystical! As " Monster " is even a little bit of an' understatement'... And what I really-mean is MoNsTeR!!! Jerry, Bobby, Phil, BK, Keith & Donna Jean... " of this Winter'71 to Fall'74 " Uni-Drummer Dead Unit!
The' Mick-Free' years - but, you already know all about that. So yeah & getting right-back here to " 1973 " - the one-question just' still-remains' - and, I have to imagine that it always-really-will...
As it's indeed true-fact that the " Opinion(s) " are just always (and always have-been) all-across-the-board on' What? " - clearly one-of the Grateful Dead " Prime-Era Years - that is indeed' beyond-worthy' of that degree of vitally-important' dissection'. And I'll say it loud & clear that my vote has always traditionally been pulling on the " Winter'73 " lever (for almost the last 30-years, myself) - but, my steadfast commitment to headphones like... Almost a " headphones-only " type of commitment over the last near-decade not to mention the " so-many-killer-'73-releases " that have newly surfaced! Has really-truly-began to' tilt' my eyes, ears, and mind - in the direction of Spring Tour'73!
And I mean hey - to just put it bluntly... It's' earlier' - and I think at least in the vital-case of analyzing " Jerry " - it matters all the more. I mean it's kind of like the similar impossible' pick' of... As that's almost something-like Who's a better British Rock Band?
But, it's just like this... 71 >'73 Garcia-Live is arguably the " Mastery-Point " of getting the Most!
And also even laying-down the earlier Mid/Late-'60's Gibson(s)! One of the " Most " critically-altering' Decisions' in really' All' of Rock & Roll which Jerry made here in this Live-Dead Period & Era! And, at least to my ears...I'm sure damn-glad he did it! Just think of the differences in sheer Gain! That this period would have' faced' Forever! If Garcia played it with say... He chose to rifle This-Era This Magical!
With the choice of Clean-Tone!! And, then the more I listen (and believe-me - I listen a-lot)... I'm almost starting to get hung-up on " Spring Tour'73 " being really the " Pinnacle-Flagship " of this Single-Coil Pick-Ups " Clean-Tone " Era! It's So-Incredibly' Brisk' that it almost Snaps! " - and even' with' what one might call " unity-gain-buffing!And with the sheer " Timing " of Bobby playing a Gibby Double-Cut 336? There are Moments that both border & also truly-achieve' Crystal-Clean' Live!
And, I have to say (&' admit') too that I'm' Extra' Head-Over-Heals with this 3/24/73 Spectrum release - because I only' ever' owned a roughly 90-minute (or' less') portion of This-Show! I got it in the'80's from Metal Tape (Cassette) and Recorded it Carefully! To Chrome Tape (Cassette) - and could never track down the other' portion' of this Show like' Most' of this Show! - simply because I just could-not find the proper & respectable Sound-Quality in which it rightfully deserved to be archived.
And so - just for fun... " This " is all that I-Ever-Had! As I'm kind of even embarrassed to say - but... And so, with no further adieu... Kind of funny (really-funny) to think about this' now' like 30-Years! >>> Big River - Stella Blue - Me & My Uncle - He's Gone > Truckin' > Jam Cut / Flip! Jam > Dark Star > Sing Me Back Home > Sugar Mag - Encore : Johnny B.And, at least in my' Rack' it's Better-Than the Nassau'73 & Springfield'73 Shows that both' border' this " Tape ". And, from a say " Dave's Picks " perspective? It's not fair to call this UCLA'73 level but, what really-is? - but as far as say the 3/28/73 Springfield & 4/2/73 Boston Shows?? They sure-have their' hands-full' in a straight-up Show-to-Show' overall' type comparison.
And, as far as going against some of those 15-25-Year " Friends " that we all have in the " Dick's Picks " Series?? As I don't even know-what to even say' there' - and don't even really feel' comfortable' approaching This-Subject! And, heck - as we all well-know... There's no' correct' answer - nor, will there ever-be - but, that still doesn't mean that You!
Shouldn't go & get on Your! " - and get right to " Work! Gotta Get Down To The Mine!!! As I sure just have to say... " as it stands' Way-Tall' kind of much-like a " Broad Street Bully!
