Hellooooo…?
How can there be no reviews for this?!?
This is a copy of Dan Healey’s own ultrmatrix, so if you’re looking for a good representation of what they sounded like in Worcester that night, strap this in to a good sound machine and let her rip.
These shows in Worcester were good ones, and as that was a 45 minute drive from campus, plenty of folks went and came back with tapes. By May they were being listened to all over campus. Some of the AUDs were decent enough, but by this time if you wanted a FOB you had to be a bit sneaky as the tapers had their own sanctioned space behind the board, where the sound inside arenas like this could disperse and flatten out.
This Black Peter gets many accolades, and deservedly so. Hearing it in the ultra matrix allows you to appreciate how much beauty there could be in the interaction between the band and their fans. Jerry’s vocal is outstanding. I love Bobby’s treatment with the slide. Jer pulls out a rippin’ solo to close, too.
Get on it, kiddos!
PS Thanks to Mr. Vernon and Mr. Miller. You guys are champs and keep an old Deadhead very happy coming back here.
