Subject: ahh....
refreshing... to have been alive in the ballroom days... this sets so hot
love that rag, the other ones real intense, real primal....

Long live the dead

Subject: very good!
intro through dark star is insane. doin' that rag is excellent as is it's a sin. sound is great. i've listened to the other copy many times, but not lately so cannot offer a comparison...but it sure does not suck to have 2 copies to choose from.

"okay, we've got ten minutes! What do you want to hear that takes ten minutes?" those days must have been the shit!

I firmly believe this is one of the hottest shows in the Archive. The acoustic Dupree and Mountains that segues into electric Dark star is over the top! Stepen and Lovelight are top-notch......Buzz saw style,slowed down Hard to Handle with Pig just laying it down...The Cosmic Charlie/China Cat affair is a three ring circus of sound....and then the big guns come out....find out for yourself---listen to all the cat-calls and shrieks throughout the show..this SBD is ALIVE!!! Powerful,shamnic,utterly transcendent night w/ the Dead, to be sure. Incredible to hear such a crisp, sweet board so many moons later......this version has a lil' more oomph and is a touch more clear than the other, more reviewed upload. Thanks for this one!!!!
