• ★★★★★ · Jack · murphbass · 2012

  Definitely Jack Casady for the second half of the set. First set Phil? or Jack? Jack's approach suggests that if he's not going to execute a line, he'll jump ship and put his energy into landing solid on the ONE whereas Phil frequently ignores this traditional bassist role. That being said, there are rare spots in this show where Jack 'hiccups,' only to catch himself. It's his groove mechanism malfunctioning; when he senses the groove dissolving, there's a hasty knee-jerk reaction.

• ★★★★★ · Must Have! · The Matrix · 2005

  This has always been my number one show! This is one of the few recordings where most of the Dead (minus Pigpen and Bobby) really jam out each song in a spooky sort of way. Most of the songs have no words - Dark Star Jam, Other One Jam, Lovelight Jam, Eleven Jam...wow! I remember listening to this the first time with my eyes closed and I thought that I saw ghosts everywhere! I would recommend this to anyone with an open mind.

  I don't believe that is Jack Cassidy like the review below. I've heard to much Phil Lesh to know that "is" Phil Lesh playing and what a great job he did. One of the best shows I've heard out of this era to date. To bad we can't still download this stuff but have figured out how to still put this on analog. Just come off your headphone jack into the back of a separate recorder.
