  • ★★★★★ · Weird show · fenario80 · 2006

    FLAME ON! Fragment of a larger show, or a part of a mutli-act night? Who friggin' cares? 26 years later we get to hear the boys in their prime, including Little Sadie AND Seasons. Of course, I've now spent enough time around the archive to understand that I should take off 1/2 a star for the slightly muddy recording, 1/2 a star for every time Bobby's mike distorts, and a full star for my own confusion over what this is and how it's assembled.

  • ★★★★ · I say awesome. · Jim F · 2010

    Great High Time, and a nice, if short, acoustic set, with Bobby doing a solo Me and My Uncle while Jerry changes a broken string. But the NFA is what blew me away on this one. I wasn't expecting what I got! Sure, it doesn't have all the cool twists with the chinacat/st stephen/darkness jams like many of the powerhouse NFA's of the year, but it just DON'T LET UP!

  • ★★★★ · Trivia Question · Chris U. · 2007

    So this is obviously the same guitar that Garcia plays at Kresge Plaza on 5-4-70 and elsewhere. The question is: is this the SG or the Sunburst strat? I'm guessing the SG. It ain't the Les Paul he was playing in 68-69, that's for sure. The tone is much gnarlier, which makes it more suitable, perhaps, for the countrified rock sound the band pursued intermittently (and by that mean intermittently within the space of a single song!
