It's so apt that The Wheel would roll into Truckin' that the outro is short but the rest is very nice.

Jerry really mines the changes on this one and pulls out plenty of little gold nuggets (like Coltrane). Good interplay, too. An inspired version.

A cheesy video of this kickass version would have Garcia playing atop a steam locomotive as it barrels down the track.

Incomplete, but what remains is top-notch and essential.

I just gotta nominate this one, that's all.

The problems with this AUD are weak vocals and, as someone on the archive said, a bit 'splashy' with cymbal noise. Of course, many SBDs from this era have problems, as well. And there is the problem of WOS SBDs, in particular--a common complaint being that they sound too boxey and din't capture the Wall's rich sound. But AUDs sometimes could capture more of the Wall's 'natural' sound and this is maybe the best Wall AUD I've ever heard (despite the problems that I mentioned). The guitars sound great, Phil's lower ends are warmer and deeper than many boards from this era and Keith is well-captured and clearly audible. Of interest, Dick Latvala said that this show isn't in the vault (as of 1998), so this is the best sounding version out there. Don't wait, snag this AUD in lossless.

Great version. What is the version of this show to get to store in my own vault?

Although I am not enamored with the AUD, this is a great version. I am surprised that it is not regarded/known more.

Also, check out the transition from Space to Eyes in this show--very cool. The Eyes also has Bobby (I think--gotta check again) doing some weird things during the verses. Unfortunately, I wouldn't necessarily call the rest of the tune (solos, etc.) 'heady'.

This one's a lot of fun and, while the St. Stephen quotes are super, they aren't the only thing good about this one.
