Was there with my girlfriend & a bunch of people from NYC. Hot day. The bands jammed into the night. Wet Willy (band) was there too, if I recall. Pigpen's organ stood silent, Duane & Berry gone. But they all rocked on & the spirits played their musical games. The Dead & the Allmans playing together. Everybody high on something. Vietnam winding down. another 3 years to the Bicentennial & culture balance, togetherness, but after that a slow march to the Right & an Age of Reaction set in. Love Pax

[@youtubesucks2575]

Very nicely written man. ✌️

[@jeffreyschmid6920]

Wow you were there, thank you for sharing

[@paulprice4441]

I was there, still have my whole ticket and my program. Drove there in my yellow 1972 VW Camper with friends. Great Show very HOT that day. There is nothing like a Grateful Dead Show !! We had a watermelon loaded with vodka and a gallon of electric punch.

[@chasesmith9652]

I’d love to see a photo of your ticket and program, those are great pieces of Rock history!!!

[@thestewlaw]

I was there. It was hot as hell. It was a double-header, and then the two bands jammed. My favorite all time Dead concert. They'd gotten back from Europe and were in top form.

[@wangson]

Whoa Nelly!!!! That's amazing, dude!!!

[@brianbevilacqua4984]

@@wangsonI second that emotion. 😮

[@patrickjordan6710]

love the pic of Dickey and Jerry! I've seen both of them many times....would have loved to have seen them together!!!

[@gwilson420]

Dead an allman bros Penn State Pennsylvania 35 yrs after that 73 run for a Obama rally 08 post Jerry but still only happened 2 xs 1973 an 2008 that they would share a stage

[@iLLuSiiioNz]

It really cooked that day .My brain as well....Remember the fire hose that they broke out on the infield ? They doused people for hours ! I sat upper deck looking directing at the Dead.I remember seeing nothing but hair, skin, and blue jeans.Over the week-end I went to Madison Square Garden To catch the Dead and Friends w/ John Mayer.I realized it was 43 years ago that I had last seen them.....Where did the time go? Life's a trip.Peace

[@pevsfreedom]

Too much talent on one stage. Dickey Betts lines are so particular. Guitar player's dream to listen and observe the differences between whilst also the piece as a whole.

[@chemung4130]

Great jams by these two stalwart bands. Many thanks!

[@travissmith9451]

Jerry and Dickey pickin' sweetness!

[@raffaelecappieri4906]

Wow from Ireland same music flash on the my ears

[@chhotosinha]

Gobsmackingly beautiful jams!

[@303canadiana9]

RIP Dickey

[@simonreede6820]

A very hot, very wonderful, very long day! Would that there were more like it: my two absolute favorite bands. Together. Had to wait to Watkins Glen to see same.

[@kevincreel3944]

RIP LEGENDS

[@artiefasbender9655]

Both days were great...one had the "Doug Sahm" band opening and the other had "Wet Willie"...my sister and I drove in from Colorado...they vitually had to carry Greg Allman to his B3....he was so H'd out.............

[@jimanzalone5870]

THE BEST CUT THEY RECORDED !! MY GOD !! :)

[@brennanc4321]

I love the version of goin down the road feelin bad 1980/05/15 uniondale coliseum with Brent Mylands extremely soulful voice

[@wangson]

yeah - brent mydland really did have a great voice that really complimented jerry and bob. my favourite keyboard player though remains keith. it's probably based on the idea that he played more actual piano than keyboard.

[@artiefasbender9655]

I was there...two very hot days...two great shows...

[@impala327]

This pretty great. Wow.

[@peacepaint917]

Love

[@RickPueschner]

OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE!!! :)

[@womenrsmarter420]

awesome sounds grate...pic also love itt....

[@davefarrar2901]

Yeah. Easy to pick out Dickey and Jerry’s guitars. Fun.

[@chasefukuoka61]

And after that you might have to get the Grateful Dead Movie Soundtrack 5 CD set, cause (besides the amazing music) its got the best sound quality of all the live albums they ever released, in my humble opinion...

[@DJmiles89]

@chasefukuoka61 I believe lapter1 meant 07/16/72. This is the correct date for when the Dead played with the Allmans at Dillon stadium. And that show is up on the archive, or some of it anyways.

[@chasefukuoka61]

@badbassjd - The audio for the whole show is over at Live archive. The link is in the information area below the video.

[@charles4965]

2 days, ABB then GD on day 1, day 2 with GD then ABB, they played very long and it was hot, I still have the program

[@user-ql2rn6uu9h]

That’s some jamming Duane Betts will soon play as good as Dicky not better but as good as

[@nukegunrack]

The Dillion Stadium show did happen as well as this show

[@jameskovic7146]

Fuck’in Dead for the next 10 fuck’n thousand years, baby. Fade away and leave it there. Then come out the other side of the Dark Star for the graduation ceremony or whatever, man.

[@josephvengen9989]

I’m in for what the f ever!

[@chasefukuoka61]

@toodeemo - wow, cool..!

[@jeffzibelman710]

There were sound towers in the middle of the field and they had guards on top to stop folks from climbing. Didn’t work but anyway I looked up and this 40 year-oldish guard was dancin his ass off to Sugar Mags. Funny as hell.

[@Battosai84]

Nice! Well if you ever want a copy, let me know. It has the greatest jam version of Eyes Of the World! It's an awesome movie

[@kkrdrunnerz9675]

[@jamemacdonald9082]

Don't forget me Sir!! Lol [e-mail] that would be absolutely fantastic!!

[@badbassjd]

I was there! Wish I could remember more- If you remember 1973, you weren't there. Big mahalos for posting this. What was the source of the audio?

[@WJSmith81077]

Sweet Spice

[@chasefukuoka61]

@lenapter1 - hi... I've got two links in the area below the video, one to the audio streaming at live archive, the other to the soundboards where they can be downloaded. Both are listed as 6-10-73. Errors are always possible, but that's the info I have. It's possible that your story is true as well, just it was a different show. Have you found audio for 6/16/72?

[@mitchellmccann1946]

Thanks for the posting. what about Digital Rights, any hassles?

[@timscott6081]

6/10/73 Allman Bros.& The Dead played in Washington D.C. I was there and have a 6 CD box set of same concert. You mentioned 6/16 72, ,almost a year earlier... You must have your dates mixed up...

[@thestewlaw]

RFK Stadium

[@sheddski2942]

It’s too bad nobody took any seriousness into what the future would bring with health and along the way many have left us if they slowed down before it catches up it’s kind of stupid how nobody cared but by the time they did too late David Crosby called it stupid things we did for the love of the party as he was recovering from a second liver transplant

[@brennis_the_menace3414]

6:00 onwards makes me wanna tap dance

[@awsesomeman110]

How many drums here?

[@ChuckPhillips66]

I put words and a melody to this song. Click onto my red hat photo to find it.

[@Battosai84]

Cool - hit me up if ya want a copy of the movie :)

[@Battosai84]

Hey dude - I've got a copy :) if you have a gmail I can share with you :)

[@davidloman932]
