Grateful Dead's RFK Stadium, Washington, DC 6/10/73 lands here on CD, capturing a sprawling summer show from the year many Deadheads consider the band's creative peak on the road.
By June 1973 the Dead were riding high between Europe '72 and Wake of the Flood, road-testing brand-new songs in front of crowds that had swollen to stadium size. Instead of shrinking their sound to fit the venue, they stretched it, and this concert in the capital is a prime example of that ambition. The recording was captured by the band's own crew, including Owsley Stanley and Betty Cantor-Jackson, and it has the warm, close detail that implies.
The show opens with a slow-burning Morning Dew, an unusually bold first move, before settling into the cowboy songs and Garcia ballads that kept the first set light on its feet. Here Comes Sunshine and Eyes of the World show off the jazzier, more fluid playing that defined the year, while later in the show the band dives into a long, searching Dark Star.
The final stretch turns into a party, with Dickey Betts and Butch Trucks of the Allman Brothers Band and organist Merl Saunders joining the jam.
For tape traders and newcomers alike, this is the 1973 Dead in full flight, with nothing trimmed and nothing rushed.
