This was the first show my older brother, Ben, went to, who was the same guy who helped me get on the bus around this time, when I was 11 or 12 years old. I recall being particularly inspired after listening to a bootleg from his tape collection. The show was 9/27/72 at the Stanley Theatre, with the "Morning Dew" opener. I played that song over and over on that tape, without really venturing into the rest of the show. "Morning Dew" had such an ancient and familiar emotional quality to it, and Jerry's voice seemed timeless. The song transcended its immediate subject in the lyrics, and spoke some deeper level of age-old wisdom through the melody itself - and Jerry's guitar. It blew my mind. 

Anyway, last summer I was walking down Wabash Avenue in Chicago under the 'L' tracks with Ben and asked him what his first show was (not sure why it took so long to ask that question). His words: "Rosemont '93, 'Help-Slip-Frank's' opener." That was it - nothing more to explain. 

So, this matrix was the first time I actually listened to this show - because how can you listen to a '93 soundboard without being immediately turned off by the sound of the Grateful Dead playing into a cardboard box on the floor that's in some dark room back stage? It just doesn't make sense to hear Jerry's guitar playing to "nothing" and not reverberating in the room and ears of thousands of happy, hungry people. And NO guitar can resound in a room like Jerry's, so why not provide a more accurate picture of what went down? This makes all the difference sonically, in my opinion, and what makes it a "show" on tape. 

And what a show it is! I perused a bunch of reviews online, and this show appears to be one of the top-rated shows of '93. Ken Nordine doing "Flibberty Jib On The Bippity Bop"? - gotta matrix THAT voice! And how about a "Days Between" for the ages, or that scorching "Other One"? "So Many Roads" is always a treat. So dig in and have fun! I recommend adding a little bass on your EQ to make up for the '93 soundboard sterility, which is why I haven't been too keen on working with '93 tapes in the first place. But there are, of course, worthy exceptions...as in Chicago '93, and my brother's first show.
