Jerry wasn't messing up. It was Healy. He started using gates on the mics apparently to cut down on bleed from the other amps on stage. This results is Jerry's singing not heard if he happens to sing below the threshold of the gate, or too quietly. You can also hear Jerry telling Healy to 'just leave it alone' or something to that effect after his guitar is going in and out of the mix. In 93 Healy left a bad mic cable on Billy's kick drum THE ENTIRE YEAR. rendering soundboards from 93 unlistenable in my opinion.

After the first set glitches, the boys gave one of the finest post Brent sets I ever got the chance to see. The Scarlet Fire featured the police in the pressbox mockingly dancing like Deadheads. The So Many Roads here features all the words sung correctly by Jerry. The mere fact that Roses, Attics, So Many Rods and Dew all make an appearance in one show makes this my favorite setlist I saw live for sure.

The Bob Bralove MIDI patches he sent Vince to play are atrocious. It gives a yacht rock retirement cruise vibe to a lot of songs. What were they thinking? The boys just had a hard time firing people I guess.

Steve Miller didn't contribute anything to the music other than novelty by wearing those god awful white shorts that looked like fruit of the loom tighty whities from my vantage point high up in the stands Jerry side.

Get the second set. Ok to skip first.

First of all, I don't want to hear anyone ever complaining about the sound quality of these beautiful remastered recordings when Mr. Charlie is at the helm. You know the hundreds of dollars that you save each year on Dick's, Dave's Road Trips releases? Well we owe that all to Charlie Miller. He is the reason why such amazingly mastered recordings are available to us by streaming and/or downloading. As Heads, we owe just as much to him as Healy or Bear. Secondly, Jerry isn't taking any breathers here - he's deferring to Bobby to take the lead on Bobby's songs. Watch the video on YouTube. Lastly, this is a great show. Great energy. Easily in the Top 10 of the post-Bruce era. Cut the boys some slack. They brought it on this night.

Not sure I agree with the issues on the sound system on this. Jerry was back on the horse and forgetting lyrics. It was worse by the time they got to Chicago. Like the set list, but Jerry's lilting voice is a sign of the things that were to come and a result of his demons.

Honestly. This show is riddled consistently with sound issues (new in-ear system etc...) and leads to lots of sedated passages - like sailing on a day with no wind. Garcia's guitar is hardly heard more than half the time. No, he doesn't nod off, but at times just sort of checks out (and many times stops playing altogether as he's talking to the techs into the in-ear system or waiting for the corrections to be made). At others, he's ripping but can't be heard. Certainly this show has great moments, but deserves an honest overall assessment.

(reviewing after watching the Lazy Cow video of this show)

Sweet show and wonderful C Miller sound. Those closed minded people who say they didn't play a good show after 1974 77 90 etc should listen to this. I respect those peoples right to thier opinion but I'll never understand them.

It's not the greatest Las Vegas show ever but, one of the better ones! I'm still kind of partial to the very first time they ever played in Las Vegas, at least, in the medium to late eras, at the Aladdin Theatre!
It's hard not to like this one, with a song list like this with "Help On The Way"->"Slipknot!"->"Franklin's Tower", "It Must Have Been The Roses", "Queen Jane Approximately", "Picasso Moon" "So Many Roads", and of course my first of only two "Attics Of My Life", not to mention "Spoonful"->"The Other One"->"Morning Dew" & "Baba O'Riley"->"Tomorrow Never Knows" with Steve Miller, Wowie Zowie!
