The Grateful Dead to share previously unreleased 1973 concerts in new boxset
The Grateful Dead are set to share a series of previously unreleased concerts from 1973 in a new limited-edition boxset.Named Here Comes Sunshine 1973, the boxset will be comprised of 17 CDs, and feature audio from the group’s shows in San Francisco, Santa Barbara and two shows in Washington D.C.The concerts took place between May 13 and June 10, and remained unreleased up until now.Discussing the upcoming release, legacy manager David Lemieux described why the year was so important in the band’s career: “In my early tape-trading days, I only had a few 1973 shows, but my goodness, did I ever love them. There was a fresh, nimble feel that was entirely different from the 1972 Dead sound taking all of the great elements of the Year of Europe and building upon that excellence.”He continued: “Even with hundreds of tapes at my fingertips, I returned to these 1973 shows frequently.
