Description: Grateful Dead : Dave's Picks 21 Volume Twenty One : April 2, 1973 ( 4/2/1973 ) - Boston Garden - Boston, Massachusetts ( MA ) : 3 CD : 2017 (1973/2017) Grateful Dead Productions, Inc. / Rhino ( GDP / Rhino ) - R2 557452 : Limited Edition ' Individually-Numbered Set ' ( Limited Edition ( of # 16500 ) ) : Very-Rare !! Delicious !!! " Spring Tour 1973 " Live-Dead !! - from the Good Ol' Boston Garden !!! Thirty-Four ( 34 ) Tracks of Straight-Up '73 G.D. Bliss !!! And, more importantly - the Very-First ! ' Taste ' of " Spring " Tour '73 ... that we have Ever ! seen Pro-released from that Oh, So-Precious ... G.D. Vault !!! So yeah... Time to ' Reel ' Your Face ! - in Beantown ! Style ! & Fashion !!! ... so-So ! ..... Tasty !!!!!Dead Fans !!! Wow .... I mean - better get out Your-Headphones ! ... & don't just stand there Dreamin' !! So, I have indeed just freshly-indulged in This-One ! - and am, for lack of a better way to say it - pretty darn ... Blown-Away !!! And, with digital remastering of this quality - quite frankly ... I feel as if I have just had a ' similar ' experience to listening to Stanford - Maples Pavillion '73 for the Very-1st ! time ... as a young kid ! 2/9/73 - was the show for me ( among many-others, obviously ... ), when I first found the Good Ol' Grateful Dead. You know ... I acquired it in like the 1st traded batch of like 25-ish analog cassettes, and I just could not stop playing it ... in the stereo, car, school, work ... and even in the yellow Sony Walkman ! I mean you know, to properly ' date ' myself & all ... Ha ! But, seriously ... this is a nothing-short of Amazing ! Dead Show - which delivered 34-Songs Live !!!?! Talk about getting your Dead Ticket torn, and settling in for like a Quarter-Day ... of '73 Live-Dead !!! I had a tape of this Show, with two-tales of SQ - both Soundboard, but most definitely ' varying ' - and, to really make it a " back-shelfer " ... it was only a 90-minute tape. So, I've a bit of a taste indeed, but not like this ... the Whole-Show !!! Because I must openly admit, I don't reach for '73 ( like I used to ), and if I do - probably like most - I'm reaching for the Fall / Winter ( & mostly ' Winter ' ) 1973 G.D.. I'll be the first to admit that I could listen to Dick's Picks 1, Dick's Picks 14 ( w/ 2-Dew(s) !! ), and the 1973 Winterland Complete Recordings, etc.. - and with that, I'm all good. But, honestly - this one has got me thinking seriously about going on a little Spring '73 Hunt ! ... because there is just so much going on. Jerry & the Strat ! - I mean you-can't-beat-That ! ... with that clean & ' twangy ' tone -- almost like a Fender Infomercial for the advertisement of going with the Maple ! Fret Board !! I mean sure, it's Jerry - it's Silverface Twin ! - and there are Mac Power Amps just Fueling up the Fire ... but, when listening to This ? - it feels like even the corner upper deck caverns of the the Boston Garden were chocked full of Deadheads with freshly-blown Minds ! ... with clean-tone attack, after Clean ! Tone-Attack !!! And too, it has to be said as well ... talk about the " Phil Zone " !!! - as there are so-many moments where he is an equivalent string-section player ( with Garcia ! ) - and the cat & mouse games that go on are just simply ... Brilliant ! Weir-Here ! too ... as the " Cosmic Glue " is most-certainly flowin'. Throw pretty-much " perfect " drum time-keeping in this mix too ... and you've got s pretty darn Mean ! ... Stew !!! A special '73 Spring Tour batch here, for sure ... at the Good Ol' Boston Garden !!! Because as we all well-know ... what makes '73, '73 ... is '73 !!!!! Clean-tone & timing Live Rock & Roll Perfection ! Playing Live ! as if you were Recording in a Studio ! And feeling free too, to push the envelopes & musical boundaries at will, when the pockets present themselves. Just like on this 4/2/73 Show at the Good Ol' Boston Garden ... both ! Playing In The Band ( close to 16-minutes ! of it ) - and H.C. Sunshine > Jam !!! Wow !?!?! There is indeed an ' underrated ' China > Rider ! on here, and the Greatest Story!... wow, as it's making it's argument to be the 'Greatest' Story!! -- ever-told... Hah! The Lucy! is simply Awesome!!! - and is real-bluesy, too !! - and as for China Doll ?? ... and Bid You Goodnight ?? All I can say is ... Where have You ! been all my life ? -- Good Ol' Vol. 21 ?! Wether Report >>> Eyes !!! Believe it, oh yeah ... Believe-It !!! You'll want to put this one in your Multi-Disc Changer ... and then just leave it there for a while ! A long while ... and too, as I also always like to say ( when, appropriate ... ) -- " Headphones-Only ! ". As This-One is just That-Good, and it's just That-Clean ... Wow. -- Enjoy !!!!!
