Subject: SBD snob
I'm cherry-picking the SBD stuff off of this one, although I'm taking the entire Lovelight. The audience source is really quite good throughout. This is far from a mediocre show! The band is hot, and when they start cooking in Lovelight...just listen to the interplay between Garcia and Weir(in the SBD section). It doesn't get any better than this. If a complete/pristine copy exists, I'd nominate it for a DP release, and run right out and buy it. I'll have to give this 3 stars overall, but the 2nd set really rates 5. Stream it, and you decide.

Subject: Good sound, good performance
Surprised I'm the first review, but i think people sometimes pass over a show that hasn't been reviewed.
Well the sound quality is better than average or thereabouts, good all around mix save for the drums which are a bit low, but not too badly.
Worth a listen and maybe the download, but in a great year just average.
