  The jam after Midnight is very cool> after Carlos barely audible solos Lesh lays it down with Santana percussion. Next Jerry solos, gliding over a tribal funk. A merge of the ages!

  The sound quality is fine for 1970, especially at the Great Highway Dog. Although it is indeed garbled and hissy, I always have to chuckle when I read reviews of these early shows and the reports of "less than" sound quality. Most people would have loved recordings that were this good back then and cherished them as such. In this modern age of all digital and no hiss etc., I still find myself drawn to these analog heirlooms, warts and all.

  This video including Hard To Handle followed by China Rider is up on YouTube and it is smashing. The HTH is solid and smoking and the China Rider well played and exploratory. The rest of the set isn't bad either tho sound issues are prevalent. Its still very worthy of a listen.
