this show is great. i wasnt expecting much, being all first night in seattle after so much time off. but damn this show rips. this is a great aud too. i generally prefer a good aud to a sbd and aside from some od clapping its good quality and good band mix and good crwod. keiths electric piano is pretty dope. i love the regular piano but...this is cool too. great night for bobby, playing and vox. also juat a great night vocally for everyone.
great first set. tleo sounds like a jgb version (partially cuz of the elctric piano). coulda used more from cassidy but its a good one. loser rips. this jack straw rips. passenger is sloppy but its a pretty gard rockin one and donnas vox sound badass. beautiful peggy-o. i love this fotd and mns rips too. also first "dead ass" lyric in uncle.

second set is great too. awesome bertha and this good lovin is the best of the year so far. also first dire wolf of 1977 but i think its been even longer (73? cant rmbr if it was played in 74 but methinks not). fat estimated with a sick jam at the end, this eyes is top notch, sick rockin nfa and beautiful wharf rat.

Not a bad Menke FOB/MOTB aud, kind of prefer it to the drum heavy sbd mix. Plus you get to hear Phil say "at least it ain't the NFL" near the encore, to which some guy yells "what does that mean?" Weir adds "now what do you suppose that means?" What did it mean, something must have happened in the NFL that week.

Show is rough compared to 9/3's show after a long time off. But enjoyable.
