-Anonymous


It must have been great stuff Nick, as I suspect you were actually in St. Louis five nights later.

i wasn't at the show, but my friend ted from chicago mailed me an excellent bootleg of it, out of the goodness of his heart. the dark star>mlb jam was a lot of fun.

Is Nick real?
-Murphy (12/04/2012)


Bobby has a little trouble with the words to Black Throated Wind, and "I've never had doubts or thoughts of regret" comes out as "(inaudible)... mountains of debt" which is pretty amusing given the band's financial situation.

Show is 1973 magic through and through.
-Just Exactly Perfect Band (02/12/2015)


Nick is in fact real. He is a special agent of the CIA and is a highly trained Orangutan that was part of a special project designed to train Orangutans to infiltrate civilian populations and ultimately to run for political office. He escaped our facility as a child shortly after training began during an especially dangerous and formative part of his training. It is imperative that we find him and return him to the authorities.

If anyone has information about his whereabouts, please forward any and all information to corrections@setlists.net

This is a direct quote from Dick Latvala regarding this show...
"Now we get to one of the all-time, out-of-this-world kind of
shows: 10/25/73. I really can't say enough about this one! The first
set is very good, but itis the second set that does you in. The
"China Cat->Rider" is one of the better ones from that era when
they used that transition material that people call "Tighten Up"
and other names, and I am just as confused about this as the next
guy. So a detailed discussion about that wonderful "jam"
occurring towards the ends of some "Dark Stars" from 1969 and
1970, (and which is stated as beautifully as I could ever hope to
hear on 4/8/72- Wembley) and which also could be occasionally
intimated during some versions of "Dancing in the Streets", that
kind of discussion is something that I would like to learn more
from some of you guys who have been investigating this. But not
right now, since I need to finish gushing all over this Madison
show. The "Dark Star->Eyes->Stella Blue" is where the action is!
There are "jams" surrounding these songs that contain some very,
very scary and unbelievable playing. A bass sound that Phil
employs here will pretty much have you seriously thinking that
this might be too much! Obviously words will never get this
described very well, at least not my words. The "Eyes" is another
one of those "best versions" type of things." Dick Latvala

Maybe Nick obtained a copy of the show that starts with HCS.
-Anonymous (08/28/2019)


My first show. What a second set!! I had to remind myself to breath during Stella Blue.
- (10/19/2019)


So if Dick his self gushed over this show, when will we see it released?
Much of the fall of 73 is available but 10/25/73 was a great show.
- (01/29/2020)


Kind of an odd sound to the recording this night, I doubt it will see a release. Dave has released almost all the tapes for this on Tapers Section. Maybe they have a better source around somewhere.

That being said, this is indeed a legendary show, very hot start tot end. Don't miss the Phil stuff that goes down in Playin' and Dark Star.

According to my calculations these are the best versions of Bertha, Stella and Weather Report Suite to come from the cherished Late '73 stretch !!

Seemingly extra-dimensional interference is heard during Let It Grow. Edited out of some archive recordings.
