And while the comment above me might be a little intemperate, I agree: it is awful how low in the mix Jerry's guitar is. I'm not an audiophile, and I get that Jerry was not "the frontman". However, the person taking solos should in almost no case be *by far quietest in the mix*. Part of this might be his tone, which got a little flabby and clean in the late 70s, but on many shows in 78, he's cranked it up. I think this is just a board or DP thing because he's also shamefully quiet on other early DPs from the era. There's some room for debate here, but I think this is objectively too low and really makes this feel more sluggish than it probably was.
