1970s - #5: In the Spring of 1973, the Grateful Dead found themselves rebounding from personnel losses. Drummer Mickey Hart had left the band in late 1971, and would not return until 1974. In early 1973, original keyboardist Ron "Pigpen" Mckernan passed away at age 27, the first of the band's keyboard players to die tragically. The Dead's sound began a new evolution, with Bill Kreuztman handling the drums solo, while Keith and Donna Jean Godchaux added new musical elements to the mix. Keith's piano playing was more jazzy compared to Pigpen's bluesy sound, while Donna Jean helped fill out the band's harmonies. New tunes such as Jimmy Row, Let It Grow, Eyes Of The World, Loose Lucy and Wave That Flag (an early version of U.S. Blues) entered the band's repertoire. By year end, the band would even launch their own record label! This soundboard recording captures The Dead testing their new musical boundaries on May 13, 1973, 52 years ago today.

Why is the file so large?
Because there's multiple copies - all SBDS - of the show in the folder plus its 33 songs long!!!
Thanks, I had not realized you had answered my question (and had forgotten I had even asked), and was looking at the file again and thinking "why is the file so large.....ha ha.
