  • ★★★★★ · ...a gorgeous woman · nico11104 · 2011

    I often think of asking a beautiful woman how she can get anything done, because if I were her, I'd spend all day looking in the mirror, fascinated. Charlie, is that what it's like for you? How do you get anything else done? How could you possibly get ANYTHING else done? This music is just that beautiful! Oh, and by the way, at the time I'm writing this, I've only listened to Uncle John's Band Jam > Morning Dew. The sonic clarity, the passion of the musicians...it's all there and it's orgasmic.

  • ★★★★★ · NICE!! · belmon36 · 2011

    Just streamed through PITB. The first set is off the hook. The Cumberland Blues, Bird Song AND PITB are just fantastic. You can hear how the band is drifting into another period in terms of it's sound. The Garage rock feel that existed at the start of the year, is changing into a more refined and mellow sound. Bird Song is a great example. Garcia is trying to stretch the improvisational part of the tune away from the droning sound's that we hear so often A bit earlier. Enough chatter.

  • ★★★★★ · Primal Dead · Dylan M · 2011

    Great show. Classic sound. We love Fall 72', its when the Dead became the their mature touring entity. The setlist gained more structure (rockers with one or two good jam outs first set, and a sprawling more jammed out connecting second set). Last Uncle John's Band Jam. They play it for encore time. Sweet Highlights here are Bird Song, Playing, Cumberland, and the entire second set (save Tommorrow is Forever).
