Subject: Super fine recording, very nice show

This show builds and gains strength as it goes along. This first set has very fine playing as does the second. Some of the jams are a little short as seen in early and mid 1980 but there is a beauty to them which gains momentum and just takes off in the eyes, jam space. Very intricate and the Sailor Saint while sometimes was a letdown after drums here has a seeking quality as the playing comes together, soars, and lands into the magnificence of Comes a Time which is beauty itself, as poignant as it gets. A powerful transcendence reached for moments, and then gracefully released or lost. The quality of the sound here is pin drop sweet.
