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.

YMMV, but I disagree. There's a lot of stuff out there, and I find it just as valuable to read what people don't like as what they do. Plus, there's practically no lucid music criticism for this scene (read Relix or JamBase lately?). I like seeing (detailed) reasons why someone doesn't like something, especially something highly rated.

I'm a big Jerry fan as well, and this version is worth hearing if only for the liquid run at end.
