Summary
Merry Day-After-Christmas!!
For your boxing and unboxing pleasure I thought this show, from the legendary year of 1973 might be just exactly perfect.. this comes to us from the Boston Music Hall from December 1, 1973. This show took place in the middle of a three show run at this famous venue, both of which have been previously commercially released. This is a nice long, first set, as was customary at the time, and includes some standout renditions. These include a nice first set 'China>Rider', a sweet 'Brokedown Palace' and a long and very nicely done 'Weather Report Suite'.
Hopefully you'll agree that this is a worthy show to close out the Deadpod in 2025..
see you next year!
