    It's a great show, but not according to the many commentors. To me it seems as though they follow this formula: "I like this, and therefore it's good." That's fine and dandy, especially when they detail why. (The same is so, "I don't like this, and therefore it's not good.") Garcia's voice cracks at times. He's hoarse. So what? On a good night he doesn't have a good voice. And Donna, if she hits a note that's not flat, congratulate her, good golly. That will go for every show.

    OK, I've read the reviews from people who weren't there--take a step back, you guys. I've also read the reviews from those who think ""poor" sound quality should be reckoned against a perfomance's worth--a couple of steps back for you, I'm afraid. OK, for the rest of us, on the count of three: ARE YOU F*****' KIDDING ME????? Half-Step>Franklin's: OK, it happened a lot back then, I'll grant you. Not like this though, bub.
