The band, fresh from recording Weir's solo album "Ace" in the studio, was sloppy at times -- perhaps because there was no pressure on them to perform. Surprisingly, it features much spirited playing. This is an exposition of a band totally within their element and having too much fun -- regardless of their flubs and malaprops.

Was taken aback by the amateurish comments claiming this is not a soundboard! Obviously those folks had never been to good old Winterland, a freak show if there ever was one and one, big party! Believe me: if this was not a soundboard you'd hear a lot more audience. And one more thing: Mr. Charlie Miller does NOT mislable his wonderful downloads. Thanks as always Mr. Charlie!
