The Nak recordings on this tour are particularly good and this is perhaps the best of them. It sounds like the Grateful Dead shows you attended in person and had good seats for and you realize this as soon as the tape rolls. There's that electronic hum coming from the stage and the sound of sound moving through not a great deal of space; great stereo separation also. The show is also wicked good. A real shrug of the shoulder Touch opens all nonchalant with a very sparkly little solo from Jerry that rises out of the speakers like smoke. Greatest Story is always welcome and this one is dense and full of notes. Jerry is real focused in Loser; another effortless solo, this one fiery. A short but enjoyable first set rounded out by a bonus Don't Ease. Serviceable versions of Victim>Foolish (not as intense as Cap) into a Crazy Fingers that again features a very focused Jerry singing as if his eyes are closed, which they probably were. The highlight of the show is the Trucking'>Smokestack which shows the great potential of the 91 band as they follow a lithe Truckin' (Jerry and Mickey are particularly playful), with a Smokestack Lightning that's no slouch. A kind of out there jam that I assumed would bleed into drums instead turned out to be a jam just like they used to do, before the 3rd verse; the 80's revival never really jammed out that much, so this was nice. Anyway, great show. Superior recording. The taper's 4-5-91 is also fantastic.

A nice clear AUD, not too bright, with LOTS of bass. Nice job! The show is good and solid.
