Grateful Dead

On November 25, 1973, the Grateful Dead performed at Feyline Field in Tempe, Arizona, showcasing their signature improvisational style and eclectic blend of rock, folk, blues, and jazz influences. This concert occurred shortly after the release of their critically acclaimed album "Wake of the Flood," which hit the shelves in October 1973. "Wake of the Flood" marked the band's first studio album on their own label, Grateful Dead Records, and is notable for introducing new material that would become staples in their live performances. The setlist from the Tempe show features several tracks from this album, along with beloved classics and fan favorites. This era of the Grateful Dead is characterized by their expansion into a more polished sound, while still embracing the spontaneous and experimental aspects that defined their live sets. The band's ongoing evolution during this period contributed to their legendary status in the world of live music.
