Grateful Dead - 1973-03-26 - Baltimore, MD (SBD)

While the Grateful Dead will always be knows as a 1960s hippie, psychedelic band, the truth is that musically they reached their peak in the 1970s. Ironically, that’s also the decade where they took about 18 months off from touring and recording between their “farewell “ shows at Winterland in October 1974 and their return to live performances in June 1976. Many think that their 1977 Spring tour, about a year after their return from their hiatus marked the band’s finest moment. Others say that the year and half prior to their retirement, from Spring 1973 to Fall 1974, was the band’s highpoint. We’ll deal with the 1977 tour in great depth in May. Today, we’ll feature a soundboard from March 26, 1973, 4 decades ago today, from Baltimore. The Dead started 1973 with 2 new band members, keyboardist Keith Godchaux and wife, vocalist Donna Jean. Keith gave the band a more jazz influenced sound, which led to a whole host of new improvisational ventures in their live shows, especially on new tunes such as Eyes Of The World and Weather Report Suite. Download this one to hear the Dead at the start of their remarkable 1973-1974 run, then check this site for a host of other incredible shows from that period.
