Notes

"PMB mics were made by a now defunct German company, about 15 years ago. The mic's are self powered (AA batt in each), the 2 sets of capsules that I have are the shotguns (about 12" length) and the small capsules which have a figure-8 pick-up pattern. Balanced output at the mic. They were owned by a speaker designer from England. Before working w/ Home audio, he worked w/ pro sound. He did lots of recording @ small to large venues in the UK. He recorded for broadcasts. He stuck w/ these mic.s through the end of his recording days."

Listened to Foolish Heart based on reviews below. The solo is really sweet. Jerry mumbling lyrics before and after, but he, and the band, really sound ...

This is the show inwhich the Boston run really took off. The band is firing on all cylinders and right out of the gate it is really good. The 1st set is ... very strong with a sing along opener LTGTR>Bertha>GSET. Bertha has Jerry really pushing it along with extended solos and faster than usual tempo.He did this in Landover and NYC too.There is great work from Bobby and Phil with them really amped up. GSET is maybe the best from this year with Jerry stepping it up on the wah wah pedal. West LA is ranchy,with a perfect solo. El Paso,LRR pairing, quite common this year, is very good.Eternity is a standout.Vince's playing and harmonies are excellent too. Set II will have something for everyone. Victim is emotional, epecially when Bobby is screaming the chorus over an over again before going into the final jam with the audience loving it.This may have been the last great Foolish Heart, granted Jerry always flubbed a verse here and there with this song, but what makes this a standout is the passion from Jerry.The music soars and the verses he does nail correctly are compelling and insightful in their wisdom.The build up jam is quite incredible, with it taking the usual twist and turns but the band just keeps pushing the envelope more and more and then a perfect peak! I was floored when I saw it and the audience acknowledges whole heartly. It is the best version I saw since 3/19/90.I love the tranistion into LL Rain.This version again is passionate and enjoyable with Jerry playing nice licks and Phil driving it along.Bobby is loud in the mix the entire show.Next we get a strong Samba, I loved them playing this it was for BG, and a nice jam afterwards. The post space is super with a faster tempo Wheel, similar to Bertha, and a smokin Miracle into an old favorite, Black Peter. Jerry sings and plays this with an emotionally intensity that makes this the best of the year. The Lovelight is the icing on the cake. We were so pumped after this we all joined into a spontaneous NFA clap, which you can hear on this excellent audience recording, that was joyful and sincere.Baby Blue was one of my favorite Dead encores and this version is heartfelt and well done, the passionate singing Jerry does at the end was perfect.

A solid rating.
The Foolish Heart played here is my favorite version ever. Jerry's "Foolish" solo will give you the chills....slowly escalating, improvisational ...

Good Audience sound for the Garden; strong showing on Jerry's part for this era. IMHO, Jerry sounds really good from pretty much the get-go of LTGTR.

Cause that is what this is... A slow start with very little focus from Garcia really bogs this show down as it really doesn't pick up until Lazy River ...
