Notes

Oade Recording (FOB Schoeps CMC 441> Oade M118 > Sony TC D5)>DATs > CDR > WAV > SHN
Very clean transfer. This recording arrived on CDR already mastered to take full adavantage of the CD dynamic range, seamless, and expertly tracked. Originally tracked on 3 discs with set 1 on a single disc and the second set split between space and truckin'. Either way it was seamless so you can burn three discs if you prefer. End of Brokedown is brokedown at 05:03 with the remainder of the song provided by a multianalog generation SBD recording from the show.

Sick show for the time. Liquid 2nd set, Playin ~D~S~ into Truckin is a large chunk of very quality focused jamming.

Being the consummate professionals they were I have no doubt this is a good recording and the band sounds good. The sound was good at SF Civic and we also got a great sounding tape.

However the atmosphere at the show was anything but energetic since Steve Parrish's wife and kids had died in a car wreck after the show the night before.

After the show the night before with Phil sporting a new mic introducing his return to singing on a regular basis, and 2 new breakouts I thought this show was pretty slow and the tragedy of the previous evening hung thick in the air.

So my review is of the show not the recording. I recommend listening to 12/28/84 if you want to hear the best show from this run.

I just want to comment on the Big Rail Road Blues . In '86 this song took on a different sort of arrangement with a more allegro tempo Well this version is a vintage rustic version and it just takes off in a UFO sort of fashion . Jerry seems to push on for glory / applause? well the applause comes because no one could not do other than to cheer on his steering on through the country to the outer atmosphere it's very subtle but listen carefully this is a true jem plus a neat fotd and everybody loves a one more sat opener
plus a fine let it grow spanish / earth bean coffee sequence

Good show; great recording.

Let it Grow and the Samson->Terrapin->Playin' sequence all stood out as having a little something special on first listen. Very lively and energetic for '84.

Maybe it's just the Oade factor.
