Set 1 has some problems, no doubt - Promised Land is really for historical purposes only, if you want to hear the moment the Wall started and failed. While things would only get better (see 2/15 Dane County), this whole show is a gas, and an essential slice of 1973 in all it's glory.īeyond famous if you haven't heard this, you're missing a very good show aside from the historical relevance of the date, but you knew that, etc. His licks are lyrical with contrapuntal remarks that evoke a line of melody traversing a world of exploratory chord changes. By late '72 Bobby had really come into his own as an accomplished six-string player, and one can here that vividly tonight. This debut Eyes is interesting in that Bobby Ace's chords during the verses are unique only to this version.

What's more, many debuts were introduced: HERE COMES SUNSHINE, ROW JIMMY, LOOSE LUCY, WAVE THAT FLAG, CHINA DOLL, THEY LOVE EACH OTHER, and of course the epic EYES OF THE WORLD. While the sound clearly still had kinks to be ironed out, it does not steal from the accomplished and energetic music the boys laid down. Not only an extremely well played show, but it was this night that the band introduced the country to the proto 'Wall of Sound'. The first show played in 1973 is overly generous in its offerings. If there are any "bugs" in it, they either aren't audible to me or they are the kind of "bugs" that the band just flows with and which end up being "the sound of that show." The randomness of tube electronics. Throughout these two songs, the sound system appears to be working quite well. The transition into China Doll is great, and the Doll itself is insanely lugubrious, the climax a most relieving payoff. take the Eyes into a plane which is never revisited in subsequent versions. I'm not sure I could say that for any other Dead tune (though I haven't given it much thought. In the meantime I've probably listened to most of the other versions of Eyes and/or China Doll from '73-'74, and some of those numerous times.Īnyways, on my aforementioned "return trip" to the Maples Pavillion, I came to the conclusion that these two first performances of Eyes and China Doll were two of the best they ever played.

Earlier this year I listened to this show for the first time in a long while (one of first dozen or so shows I had on cassette).
