I have a Low-Quality Cassete Tape of the 11/11/73 Second Set. I was lucky enough to Trade for this Tape back in the Mid 1980's, and it is without doubt One of the Finest Sets of Grateful Dead Music that you are gonna get from the Vault. This One has 'Classic' written all over it...Sign me up for this One, Winterland was my favorite place to see The Dead, and as I missed this Run of November 73, I am ready to take a ride with this one...Dark Star, Dark Star, Dark Star !!!

Broken leg shows
Reviewed By:
Zomby D Wulf
Oh how I do remember these shows, I had just spent 10 months in the Hospital for a Motorcycle wreak and was still in a full leg cast and on crutches, but I was still up front in the Phil zone for all 3 shows . I have been waiting a long time for these.What great memories. Fresh crab, french bread, and wine at Aliotos on the warf, then shows to rival any others.

This set is awsome! But the outer box design is a little lame. The design above should have been the front of the box.

This will be hard to top...
Reviewed By:
Stephen J. Butler
From the intricate packaging, to the "extras," to the crystal clear and phenomenal music within, Winterland 1973 is arguably the greatest Vault release put out to date. My only gripe is the use of cardboard sleeves instead of digipaks.
This will be hard to top, but I can't wait to see them try! How about a massive Europe '72 run?

Winterland 73 Box Set: Sound quality not the best
Reviewed By:
HERR DOKTOR
Yes, the long awaited Winterland '73 shows. The insert mentions these discs were made from 2-track tapes and that they "you will find this reproduction better than any other two-track recording of this vintage..." Yeah, well that's true but it ain't sayin' much. This set doesn't come close to the FW '69 box of a few years back. Too much crowd/background noise, voices, especially Jerry, are nearly inaudible in spots. But the music is outstanding as I knew it would be. Is this worth $100? Probably. Am I a bit disappointed? Yes. Enjoy, it's better than tapes.

Good but could be better
Reviewed By:

The music is great, but compared to the other times the dead played Winterland, this run is overrated!! Listen to the GD Movie soundtrack and closing at Winterland. In my opinion those shows were much better and more inspiring!! This box set is mellow and laid back. If that is your thing, then this will be heaven. I do not understand why Rhino did not pick the best three or four nights from the late fall tour of 73. I mean the Dead played El Paso Texas (the one and only time in history)!! I enjoy this box, but maybe I am not a 1973 deadhead. Buy it, support the folks at Rhino, the remaining members of the DEAD, you might like it, that is what matters anyway, not my opinion of it!!

Great shows
Reviewed By:
HomebrewingDeadHead
I think the music and the shows are pretty strong here. I agree that in a many places, Jerry's voice is very quiet - could be louder. Some great stuff on here. So many standouts, too many to name. Great box set and tons of good music in here. One gripe is Donna. I know she gets slammed alot, but in the early years with the Dead, I don't think she added any value. I love Playin' in the Band, but it's hard to listen to her scream and shriek on this song. I wish they could edit her out or just lower her vocals. Too often she overtakes Bobby and Jerry in many songs and that is not a good thing IMO.
Overall - great box set, great shows and a decent price IMO. It comes to $10 a CD with the bonus disc.
