Yo, GDDog, No venue is shittier then the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome in Minneapolis. So this show was at least tolerable on the ears. I don't understand why they thought all sports venues could double as concert venues with ease. Seriously, most stadium and dome shows sound like shit. too much reverberation and the delay between sound and echo is usually noticable, if you know what to look for. This show was still played pretty well considering the nightmare it musta been for the boys to hear eachother. Thought the Touch of Grey out of space was quite interesting and worked well with the vibe they were groovin on this night. And the TOYL is rockin the dome to pieces any way you slice it.

So... is this show good quality? No way in hell.

But, is it the worst acoustics you'll ever hear? close, but still... no.

Boreal Ridge Ski Resort in summer of '85 is also another one that beats this one in the terrible venue acoustics.

The summer of 1988 we tripped to the three Laguna Seca shows, followed by Tacoma & ended at Eugene. We took few weeks to travel to NYC & tripped our ways into the run of 9 shows at MSG....starting on 9/14/1988 ....

what a long strange trip its been .. iko iko now & forever ....

Just listened to this on Sirius TIGDH. Wow what Jerry does in the last 45 seconds of Lovelight is worth the cost of admission. Fare thee well indeed.
