Our next archival release project is the RFK Stadium June 9, 1973 show and we want to make it the best possible product - if you were there or have photos, ticket stubs, posters, flyers - anything that you have ownership of and we could use, drop us a line on the contact page of this site. Thanks!!
I'll get right to it...
Great news, i've enjoyed all of these archive releases
If memory serves me correctly, they played two nights ... 9th and 10th ... and Dead headlined one then ABB headlined the other
@kcjimmy And that must explain why there are two bootleg RFK shows in YouTube. At first glance you think it's the same show. But when you listen you notice the songs are played a little differently on one show compared to the other.
Back in the summer I wanted to hear Dickey's Ramblin' Man second solo again because I really liked the energy, licks and how he stretched it out but the show loaded that time, it was a different Ramblin' Man second solo and I liked it but not as much as what I heard the night before. I was puzzled as to how two different versions of several songs got on the same show with the same photo of the band on stage.

Both ABB sets 6/09 & 6/10 are available but 6/09 is much better quality show and recording. The "You Don't Love Me" is off the charts. Dickey does some really nice work on it. I seem to recall Jessica was very good too. There were sound issues, though that I hope are corrected in the release.
I love DBs Rambling Man solo on Wipe the Windows....
He sure was an Awesome guitar player.
@robertdee: Thanks for posting IMOER!! That was just completely off the charts..........and mostly I mean DICKEY DICKEY DICKEY. But the entire band sounds so incredibly tight and focused.
At RFK stadium June 10, 1973.
Jerry Garcia takes the first solo then Dickey takes one and more Jerry.
Jerry is playing a Strat and Dickey a Les Paul is another way to tell them apart.
We all know I suppose Dickey was a huge Jerry fan. I can see their styles are a bit similar on this but Dickey had other big influences which you hear on other songs.
@robslob That is without question one of the most unique and well played Liz Reeds I've heard. And yes Dickey was incredible and magical on his solo. Apparently creating all those changes and nuanced passages on the fly.
Dickey was something special back in the day. One of the absolute best!!!
Real nice to hear Gregg playing some tasty fills on this. I love the sound of that Hammond
Looking forward to this! 😀
