i have been listening to mostly the 1976 shows this summer but this show is so different. you think of this period as a psychedelic time for the dead but they start out with the most countryfied bluegrass string band sound...no dark star, other one, space or seastones here but some great jams. hearing jerry sing on me and my uncle is a special and unusual treat. jerry just tears up the licks on sitting on top and lovelight. energy energy.

This band is amazing. Just listen to Doin That Rag, in particular from 4:57 to around 6:30 for a nice sample of the playin at this show. The band is tight throughout regardless of style. Whether its folk, country, Bobby's cowboy tunes, a super quiet Jerry ballad, Pigpen's blues or just jammin out on Lovelight, everything is top notch. Sound quality is very good to my ears. This is a keeper.
