The Grateful Dead Live at P.N.E. Coliseum in Vancouver, BC Canada on June 22, 1973

For most seasoned Deadhead tape collectors, the Fall-Winter of ’73 reigns supreme. I, on the other hand, am far more partial to the Summer. For me, everything from late May to early September is pure gold. During this time, the band was locking into a jazzy/spacey groove unlike any other period. For whatever reason, this particular ‘zone’ really does it for me.

I finally had the extreme pleasure of hooking up with a guy who held onto a reel copy of Don Amick’s complete recording. Sitting up near the front, Don spread his mics 15+ seats apart and captured the very essence of the 1973 sound system within a large venue in surprisingly nice stereo.

Your ears will quickly tune up and settle into this recording, as welcoming as they come from 1973 AUDs. The unmistakable warm tone of the entire band in this part of the year oozes through. This tape is the “sound of 1973,” and deserves a place in everyone’s collection..
