Soundboard. Super pretty Looks like Rain. Donna pulls her weight as back up in a way I don't typically notice. They Love Each Other is a rump shaker right off the kick and Keith puts in some work on it too. The Lazy Lightning into Supplication is very jazzy and wonderful. Bob's vocals are super clean on Music Never Stopped. Dancing in the Street is funky fresh. Samson starts second set like a gunshot. Hot right off the kick followed by really strong Crazy Fingers. Believe it or not, this might be the funkiest lead into Help-Slip-Franklin I have ever heard. Especially coming off of a tune like Around and Around. Worth a spin for sure. Plus the Slip gets FAR OUT. Perfect Franklin. This show is a bonafide scorcher start to finish.

Although I've been a GD fan for years, I've only become an OBSESSIVE one (alright, a Deadhead) for about half a year. I've downloaded a couple dozen shows ranging from the '60's to the '90's and am happy to be getting a real foothold on this Greatest of Live All Rock Bands after two decades or more of prognasticating and putting off until tomorrow the hard work that you have to do to really understand the Dead today.

Might as Well- pretty cool as show opener. (few i got on tour in 85 were as set one closer.) Just so much talk about the sound? To my ear the sound is excellent. Donna Jean is a full time member of the GD starting in 76. Donna sings on everything! Their sound is fuller for it. She is Sweet on Scarlet, Bawdy on Dancin!

As you may be able to tell by my name I don't often offer much by way of a posotive comment however, you would be wise to check out this show if for no other reason than the Franklins is one of the smooooooooothest dolops of butter you will as of yet have the pleasure of hearing. **This comment stands in direct opposition to the red lettering but I would repectfully ask the powers that be to make exception but for the following reasons: First, I am able to state with the conviction of a man…
