no big RxR blues - it's Mexicali

This is a pretty sick show, but do not get it off gdlive.com.....sound quality is poor. Get the SHN off furthurnet

Really starts melting at the Truckin outro jam and on from there. Phenomenal Phil on Stella, some beautifully subtle work.

heard the 1st set today - average at best. Sometimes, actually a little too often, Garcia seems lost when he goes to play a solo and that's he sounded during this 1st set. I'm a huge Jerry fan, but also call it like it is

Set 1

Brown Eyed Women - Good version.

Mexicali Blues - Tight. Again.

Around and Around - In a set full of duds this gets lively quicker than usual. Good closer.

Set 2

China > Rider - China jam kinda sounds like 'Lay Down Sally' at times.

1/2 Step - Good rendition. First of '73.

Truckin' - Best of 73 so far. High energy jam leads to fantastic Phil & Bill for several minutes. Bill is in full on Swing mode ! They bring it down into Eyes.

Eyes of the World - The first standard Eyes. Not a bad thing.

Johnny B. Goode - Chuck would approve !

Grievance - some songs weren't played poorly but the recording had several dropouts....however....many just fell flat.

Of the 22 songs played the 9 above I would download and spin again.

9 of 22 is a grade of 40.90%

Cheers !

Dick Latvala in 1997 about this two night stretch:

I am pretty sure that this series will
definitely be a release when it's time comes around. The second
sets from both nights are fucking fantastic!!! It simply doen't get
any better or anywhere close, for that matter, until 9/8/73.

"It simply doesn't get
any better or anywhere close"

I think 3/28 set II gets close...
