★★★★★ · Now Hold on one minute there folks! · brendanmcauley · 2013
This show is an absolute delight to the ears. Yeah thats right, there is nothing extra special here- no first set scarlet fire or casey Jones encore- no stephen>Dew no help slip but there is a guitarist up there who is taking this gig seriously. The playin jam by Garcia is outrageous. It is not '73-'74 no but it does not dissapoint in the slightest. The Shakedown is clearly a set saver- only Terrapin or maybe an eyes could have saved this set from apppearing lame.

★★★★ · Little bit of a dirtier sbd...I like it · jhatfield87 · 2021
Pretty strong performance here, plus this SBD is a pretty good example of a reason why I tend to favor the Pigpen era and generally the rest of '72: they sound warmer and dryer. There's not as much of the glisten that is expected from the other half of the decade and that's nice to get once in a while in spite of the cleaner sound having its merits.
★★★★ · Nothing Is Perfect · Bucketed1Sevices · 2017
Mickey Says It All Talking To Bob After The Flub In El Paso. Nothing Is Perfect Under Allah. The Laws Of Allah In 'sh'Allah. Enjoy What We Have, Honor Those Who So Provided.
