RFK Stadium, Washington, DC June 10 1973

"The Robert F Kennedy show is unquestionably a peak, even before Allman Brothers Dickey Betts and Butch Trucks join in towards the end of the five hours. There's little banter beyond some apologies for undetectable technical shortcomings, but there is almost half an hour of Dark Star, where it's turned inside out and turned right back around again, and there's a version of Woody Guthrie's Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad where Jerry Garcia emphatically states his case to be regarded as a great guitarist".

"The combined forces wisely and fruitfully played it safe this sweltering day in DC. Yet it is exactly that approach the Grateful Dead eschewed during their time on stage alone. Not surprisingly then, the positive effect(s) achieved by joining forces was but a shadow of the multiple pinnacles that occur on the first three CDs of this invaluable set. Emanating as they do from the arguable apogee of the psychedelic warriors' concert career, those very high points command the utmost recognition".
