Dead of the Day: 11-13-1972

Sailors’ and Soldiers’ Memorial Hall

Kansas City, Kansas

With, once again, only a few extant shows from this date, our Dead of the Day takes us out to what was surely a phenomenal show back in ’72. Unfortunately, our recording here is an audience tape that, while the best of what is available, is still somewhat rough. But there is no masking the energy of the Dead on this night.

Notes: – Thanks to Karl Ryan for the master recording – Thanks to Tim Welch for the 1st generation cassettes and initial analog to digital transfer – Thanks to Charlie Miller for DAT transfer and coordinating this effort – Thanks to Kevin Weil and Matt Vernon for the audience source which supplies some crowd and the first few notes of many of the stand alone songs, as well as a 0:14 patch in “I Know You Rider”, a 0:28 patch in “Tomorrow Is Forever”, a 0:15 patch in “Playin’ In The Band”, as well as a 1:56 patch in Dark Star – Thanks to Mike Babyak for confirming the pitch – This appears to be the same as master #2 of shnid10089, albeit complete and several analog generations closer to the master Mastered by Scott Clugston November 2022

The highlight of the night is surely the Dark Star> Dew. The Dark Star goes through several different moods, all perfectly resplendent despite their deep spaciness. Then, about two-thirds of the way through, the boys – or should we say Phil – storm into a Philo Stomp. While they pretty much lose the Dark Star theme at that point, it also ushers in some incredible playing and withering jams – including a Feelin’ Groovy Jam at the end – with the entire band firing seamlessly. Then they come to a bit of a lull, as if they are going to bring the Dark Star to a conclusion, but, instead, Jerry lets loose that ringing opening note of Morning Dew, and suddenly we are off again into another amazing ride, this one so haunting it is capable of raising the hair on the back of your neck.
