| Dick's Review | After one hearing, it ranks high on my all-time favorite list of jams. I’m talking about the 2nd set which is one of the Dead’s more finer moments. These mind-blowing shows happen during every year and this was one of the heaviest for 73 (Although the 11-11-73 Winterland might be in the same class since my mind was blown by that show which is the last one that all of us saw together) | |

| Dick's 2nd Review | Garcia does some unique playing on Sugar Magnolia that is very pleasing | |

| Dick's 3rd Review | Every part of the closing jam is fantastic but the jam section before he’s gone contains so many thrills that it is unbelievable. Even though this show doesn’t have such a tremendous start, the quality of the jam overshadows everything else and this show definitely deserves my highest award | |

| Dick's 4th Review | The 2nd jam section after he’s gone is quite lengthy and unique. The 3rd jam section is really Nobody’s Fault But Mine which carries on for quite a long time. | |

| Dick's 5th Review | I like the way the audience yells out the start to Big River - (i.e. 1,2,3,4) also Weather Report Suite is very enjoyable and is clearly the highlight of the 1st set. Morning Dew is really fantastic. It seems so deliberate and strong in purpose. Great end to one of the finest shows ever. |
