Brent's playing goes far outside of the rhythmic structures the rest of the band is using to support him, shaking them out of their complacency.

Acceptable slide playing from Bobby. Nice extended organ solo, MIDI sax solo. Whole band playing blues choruses gives first set particular vibe.

Looser and hotter than its more famous brethren from the following night, but Garcia gets buried some in the mix.

To my ears, the Betty Boards usually have a fair amount of Keith. Come hear why.

Haha bloody Jerry's noodling in with the MIDI in the background between songs. Super high energy, sick. This whole show is so nasty!

The whole band is cooking tonight, and Jerry is on.

I honestly haven't heard this yet, but I think this is one of the most fascinating aspects of Deadhead-dom. I'm really intrigued by the idea of being "in" a song or jam, or "out" of it (transition), where the borders are between them, and how we interpret music that doesn't fit into these categories. Interesting stuff!

Very nice version. Whole show's worth a listen.

This "Space > Wheel" is the business.
