Subject: Amazing show / Recording

Perhaps the single best Aud recording ever.

This tape has it all.

You know, I've said for 35 years that you can't judge a show by the tape. This is a PERFECT example. This show was electric as can be. When they played Cryptical...my hair still stands on end. And the "Nobody's Fault But Mine", wow. Soon after the GG Park bust, Jerry knew it was nobody's fault but his, that's for sure. And Starlight, after seeing them coast to coast 180 times over a 25 year span ('70-'95), is in my top 3 venues. AND, there was heat lightening all over the sky that night. Anyway, just sayin', you can't judge a show by dimply listening to the tape. Thanks for letting me share

Ah, the disappointment. Mumbled, half-forgotten lyrics. Flubbed lead lines. They must not have wanted to play it enough to rehearse it. As for the rest of the show...

Really good AUD, just a slight touch boxy. The show is not particularly well-played in general. Can do without Brent's downer of an attempt at a new hit. One good thing is that Drums was always really cool and exciting this whole period. Comes a Time is sweet, but that's a late pick-up.

Subject: Last Try

This ended up being the last version the GD attempted so that should answer your review of "weak attempt". I was there though when they broke it out at the Greek and the energy was frenzied......I thought Jerry was going to have coronary he was playing so hard during "The Other One" section. This is still a great show.

Subject: Nice try

I applaud da boyeez for attempting to revive Cryptical in the mid-80s, but this is a pretty weak attempt. Only Garcia can get away with being this anemic.
