Gotta say: I *love love love* the sound of the audience recording that makes up part of this file. This taper might not have had the greatest equipment but he found a very sweet spot in the venue and listening to this recording nearly 45 years later (!) I can feel myself there, disintegrating into vibrating molecules. The Dead had a darn nice sound system in 1972 and this awesome Playin in the Band is your proof. Just the right amount of crowd ambience, too. People are having a real good time.

My very first GD show! I was a lad of 17 this summer, and finally got to a show, the first of what would prove to be several dozen over the years. I was a big Allman Bros. fan (been to many shows), and sort of a medium Dead fan at this point. After this show, I loved them both. The next show I would attend would be Watkins Glen the following summer, at which point you could say I became a fully-fledged Deadhead.
- ★★★★★ · The GRATEFUL DEAD "Live On Stage" July 16, 1972 at the Dillion Stadium, Hartford, CT, USA · oh_uh_um_ah · 2009
` ~^|\_@|@_/|^~ ~ / \ ~ The first 8 songs are audience quality recordings. They are kinda hard to listen to if not for the incredible performances. Can you imagine all it took to get the DEAD on stage and stuff and then one button isn't pushed and all we get is a crappy recording from the audience...man. From "Mexicali Blues" to almost the end of "Me and My Uncle" it's SOUNDBOARD quality. "Mississippi Half Step" and "Sing Me Back Home" are audience quality recordings.
