    I was at this show and let me say this was the tightest, cleanest show I had heard the Dead play that whole year. My friends and I toured that year..there were good shows and not so good shows up until this one. A lot of people were tired & feeling a little disapointed w/ the shows leading up to this one. But when they came out on stage there was a buzz and no denying the electricty (as cheesy as that sounds)that flowed through the band and straight throu us.

    Okay, so what gives? Why does Rhino pull all the soundboards from being downloaded? So they can have more commercial releases. Then why do they still allow the posting of audience shows of commercially released CD's? It's not very smart business. Who is going to pay a primo price for a primo show if they can get it for free? That's right. No one. Economics 101 was obviously not taken by the numbnuts who are in charge. It's a real simple concept; supply = demand.

    I was there! And just now i finished listening to an audience copy. This is so solid. Garcia's voice is excellent, and I didn't notice any issues with missed lyrics throughout. The vibe is totally there from Stranger through Casey Jones. Yep, don't underestimate the first set. Great show all around, but I gotta point out BEW and Samson. This is one monster of a '92 show. It's almost flawless. It's too bad the soundboards are off limits:( I doubt I'll buy it even as smoking as this show is.
