Capping off the first triple-header year in the quinquagenary series, launched in 2018.

The Grateful Dead played New Year's Eve shows every year since 1968, but 1973 marked a change that lasted for three years.  The final shows of the year were not only on the East coast, but in the south.  The finale (12/19) was the inaugural choice of Dick Latvala for his eponymous live concert release series, but the whole show wasn't released.  I'll play some of what didn't make it, as well as (rare) music from slightly earlier shows.
