Overall this show isn't a standout, but I love me some nice space. Also dig the "Dark Star" teases at the end!

Worth it to hear what Bobby does to sweet Jane... you'll know it when you hear it. Worth a giggle.

Jerry plays some nice angular lines (ex. first solo), and this features a decent vocal performance.

Everything from this night is well above average. And listen to Keith!

Thanks all– I'll pose the same question to you that Grendel answered. Give me something to stretch my listening habits, pitch a show for me to check out!

Some nice contributions from Bruce on accordion here.

That was bugging me, I had to figure out. At the start of "Fire," Lesh is playing the "wrong notes" (replacing the B and A that we expect with G# and F#, creating tension by implying that the chords the rest of the band is playing are minor). Sick stuff, no wonder folks went running. Was this typical for this tour/year?
