This is mind blowing that this is an audience recording. I bet the wall of sound sounded absolutely amazing back in the day. Man, the things i’d do to go back in time

My mother was 6 months pregnant with me at one of the '73 Universal Amphitheater Wall Of Sound shows. It's no wonder I saw my second of almost 80 shows in April of 1989, when I was 15. Great Chpina>Rider that Saturday night!!! Jerry teases the opening notes endlessly before jumping into it.

I would actually date you because you went to this one cheers​@@MyCleverHandle

This isn't a soundboard. That's how amazing the Wall of Sound was, man.

I was there, just graduated HS. This is my all time favourite jam. Thank God for tapers & KZread and the Grateful Dead for setting the music free.

Wow!! I Cannot imagine what this was like live. This has been my Favorite China>Rider since I first heard it on the Grateful Dead hour with Mr David Gans many years ago. I've listened to it countless times since. Was fortunate enough to see 3 China>Riders, but they were nothing like this Transcendental Gem. Makes me :-) :-) :-)

73, 74 were amazing years for the dead.

I just listened to another version, also 1974, which I thought was the best version I had ever heard. And now I stumble across this....

The Grateful Dead at their best. I was 18. Back in the day the Grateful Dead and the Allman Brothers Band were my world.

Saw the Wall of Sound in Jersey City Roosevelt Stadium. The clarity of the notes was amazing.

Yes, I was there too and agree 1,000%! The clarity of that sound system.... WOW! Those were the days though, weren't they? 😊

Best china -> rider transition

The dead have done this medley countless times. This is special because of all the improvisation up front. Great sound thanks for posting !

One of my All Time Favorite pieces of Grateful Dead music Ever played. Ensemble playing at its Best.

the fantastic places you go when you follow the lovers of sound

This China Rider is exactly what I needed today. 2/11/22. A warm February day where things didn’t quite go right but all is well.

Glitterystar it’s 11:45pm - 3/22/23 and like that warm February day where things didn’t quite go your way; I’m having the same little issue now. I stumbled upon this gem and all is right in the world again. ✌️my friend.

My second. Had really good lower bowl seats in sec. 109. My first was just 9 months earlier - same venue.

Well of course this is wonderful! What else could anyone expect? A huge THANK YOU to the poster!

If I didn't know better, I'd swear this is a SBD. The clarity of the instruments and stereo separation is ridiculous for an AUD. Awesome that it is an AUD though. Big testament to The Wall of Sound. The playing is also phenomenal.

Jerry Moore did a great job taping this. The matrix version is my favorite. Was fortunate to have been there for this one.

Amazing piece of Dead life and played on my birthday!!

Mars Hotel released the following day.

One of the beat China/Riders of that era.

By far my favorite China Cat Sunflower, if only for the intro, but even more.The 2 plus minutes after the first China note,before Jerry even starts singing is one of the more epic connected jams, all of them synced up, pure bliss.Dick’s Picks Volume 12, 6/24/74.

Well to be fair (and not taking anything away from the beauty of the music) Bob and Keith are playing China Cat for most of that, and they don't stray too far from it. Don't know about Phil.

"AudMC > WAV > CD > EAC > SHN recorded by Jerry Moore near the rear of the floor, close to center axis.." Now, this 73y old and fan from day one wants to give his thanks. Once again :>)

Sound quality is top notch

Faster we go, rounder we get!!

World Class. It gets no finer.

This is definitely up there in my chart!!

I've been listening to this audience bootleg since 1974 - it's like a great piece of classical music. . .except it's all improvisational (of course). . .

Wow, this is gorgeous.

Yeah Billy

The COMPLETE band!!

Great music

sweet sound

This has an audience source mixed it and it's not a straight audience recording, it's mostly the SBD source and it's pretty obvious. Happy 50th anniversary, though! This is one of my favorite shows ever.

great show. Jamming on US Blues prior to vocals.

Sounds like " not from this World " Grateful Dead can save this World 🫶

Does anyone else hear the guy saying f**k the dead about 5 secs into the recording?
