I think the band was a little cooked from the night before but it seems like they're still having some fun.

A sublime treat. A kinder, gentler Terrapin. Great sounding vocals leading into a monster LIG

Grate Pick! Heavy Duty LIG in a rockin' Berkley show that begs for the matrix treatment.

Patrick Gymnasium, U of Vermont

This has been one of my pocket shows for years. Great S>F and the Hunter-Seamons matrix really makes it shine. Whenever I see Hunter's name in "other copies", that's the show I'm grabbing or replacing. He's got a FB page where he releases new matrix recordings: https://www.facebook.com/GratefulDeadTrix?fref=ts

Was just watching this video on Youtube. Interesting transition from Estimated...... almost like they're getting on the train into drums> space but Jerry pulls them back into the Station.
