This is an excellent sounding recording of a very good show. The cymbals are very crisp in the mix, and everybody is as where they should be, right to left...Donna's voice actually hits the mark...***If you are a fan of good sounding recordings or of the Spring '78 shows, this is a must have***...I have become quite a fan of the Spring '78 run and I am collecting them...and even within that great wealth of selections this one stands out...I am not going to bore you with the "and I was there"…

No complaints about the sound quality. I love hearing the keys twinkle in my left ear while Jerry noodles away in the right. Highlight for me is He's Gone. One of my favorite versions that I've heard. It's very relaxed, but with great vocal performances from both Jerry and Donna. The ooh ooh oohs at the end are very soulful, almost ghostly. Some versions it sounds to me as if they're trying their best to bring him back, as it were. This time it sounds like a sort of mournful acceptance.
