Subject: Not Dat Master
Surprised no one has noticed yet that this is not from a Dat Master. Healy did not have a Dat, nor did anyone else for that matter, until 1989-90 when the first grey market ones came out of Japan. This is from a PCM digital sbd master. It does amaze me sometimes that this community can act so know it all and smart, yet not really know much.

Sound is good and show is pretty good.

Subject: Sound Effects
The spatial and phasing effects were definitely there at the show...I was there and it is a show that stands out in my mind. Frost was such a great place to see GD. We ate a couple caps before we went in and had a pretty zoomin' time. The show was broadcast FM and we got copies when we got home. I remarked at the time that the tapes captured the spatial and phase shifting effects really well. At the show we all thought that maybe it was just our "state" so to speak. Anyway, I liked the versions of Cumberland Blues, WPCTS and Eyes. And the drums/space was more than pretty weird and cool; it woke us up, that's for sure (LOL)!! A very satisfying show as listened to hear and as remembered.

That has to be the most asinine review I have ever read...

Subject: Good show - interest phasing ..
I've been fascinated with the sound manipulations that they'd have going on at their live shows ... where it seems the phase of various instruments is being played with. You can hear what appears to be the same sort of thing going on.

From listening to archive shows and what i recall .. the archive shows seemed without these spatial effects, that the spatial/phasing effects was meants strictly for the live audience (you all remember the large speaker towers and how they'd whip the signals all around the stadium that way). Seems that there is a bit of that going on hear. i don't think it's an artifact of old tape or that someone applied phasing to the source before it arrived hear at archive.

any thoughts?

anyways ..

Will tonight feature more debuting songs?

1st Set: I'm hearing 'LTGTR' 'Jack,' 'Bird' chords in the 160 second tune-up... Instead we're going search for that elusive easy-listening "Box of Rain." sweet but kinda weak; time to find Phil another tune. "Touch" is standard though a cheshire smile from Jerry would charm more than this version does. "Far From Me" can be just that; the polite mandatory applause is appropriate. "Cumberland" is undemanding and unremarkable listening. "Memphis Blues" at least has some passion behind the pristine playing. "Push" is typical, not strange for a song that always sounds the same. "Cassidy" is introverted and deliberate.

2nd Set: Merciful god, someone tell the band that this isn't coundcheck "Louie," although this version's one of the best ones considering Jerry and Brent's countering off the rhythm. It quietly segues into "Truckin" It's your typical chill adequately performed less than seven minute version. Whoa, what was that cataclysmic shudder at 2:12 during a lazy-dazy "Crazy?" "Samson" sounds busy-good tonight after a somewhat awkward opening. Without pause, they start up an average "Eyes." "Drums" leads itself nicely to an intense, shape-shifting "Space." "TOO" convinces me that its creators are demented...not blitzkrieg, but solid. "Wharf" makes me feel the despair but the musicians aren't up to taking it to the next transcendent level. "Throwing" forces me to stand and angrily sing-along with Bobby. "Lovelite" appears to be a spur of the moment call. It's snappy and quite good fun for its 5 minute length.

Tonight's encore is an all guns-blazing excellent "Knockin"

3 stars
