The Allman Brothers Band Featuring Jerry Garcia – Cow Palace, 1973


I have a first generation reel to reel, it was recorded off of FM, NYE 72-73. I think KSAN was the station. Great show!

Jessica is amazing on this show

Despite all the "grey area" bootlegs out there … I am very surprised this wasn't an official release by the band

There is a story circulating that the Brothers got dosed that night by the Dead's
entourage

That is very cool. Out of curiosity, do you play it still? (fellow R2R guy here)

This has been really fun to listen to.
There's some debate in the Youtube chat down the page about where Jerry comes in.
To my ears it's during Whipping Post --- anybody else agree or disagree?

Bird72, the foundation of my ABB tape collection was open reel, I recorded 6/27/71/ as it happened,then my next tape was WPLJ. The tapes have been kept in their AMPEX boxes ( hopefully safely) for 47 years...YIKES I'm old.I'm afraid they'd self destruct if I attempted to play them.Since then my collection morphed over to Maxell XL ninety cassettes and finally CD.Happy Holidaze!

Yes Happy Holidays to you. Old Ampex tape can be OK or totally degraded. Different composition of tape. I would have to net research to tell you more. But I personally had a few reels of unused old Ampex, still in wrapper. All were unusable, could not record on, totally muddy. (Threw them out) And then I have Capricorn Fillmore R2R, on Ampex, and the sound is perfect. The only old tape generally accepted as usable if cared for is the Maxell. I have some and it is fine. BUT, in case you do not know, they make new tape now (finally). ATR.

I have just bought a 3cd box set of this from Amazon UK. Jessica is a faulty track. I also found out this is not the full concert. Is this legendary concert EVER going to get an official release.
