This show is a smokin show! The drums were totally there! Absolutely strong beats with cymbal accents and more galore. They had quite the variety of cymbals in the era of Dead. The drum beat opening of Victim or the Crime! Crank that up and tell me what you think. Smokin! Phil is snapping those bass strings like a wild terrapin with strong authority and sounding fukkin awesome. Bobby whips out the acoustic for El Paso. I can smell the wood and leather from here. A charming version for sure!

I've been a long time listener of the Dead, clocking in thousands of hours of listening. And though I was late to the scene, and don't dabble in post 92 shows most of the time, I was pleasantly surprised by this effort. How has no one mentioned the Space portion of this show, and the beautiful Spanish Jam that starts midway and coalesces into a fiery Last Time which fizzles into a perfect reading of Attics!
