Subject: This is a magnificent run!
I bought a t-shirt commemorating this run even though I didn't see the shows. That's how much I love it.

The New Speedway is one of the great breakouts of all time but must be heard in the audience version to truly appreciate it. It just crackles with energy and Garcia really lets it rip. Sadly they would never play it this well again. In later versions Garcia always seemed to be holding back on it.

A great set two as well. Solid sound. Another fine contribution by the amazing Charlie Miller.

Solid Show to kick off 1991. The mix leaves a little to be desired with Weir's guitar being mixed WAY too loud. You can barely hear Jer's guitar and Vinnie's keys. Speedway is great though. I always loved the first set Speedways that occured sporadically throughout the next couple years like Knickerbocker 92 and Pine Knob 91.

The New Speedway and Black Peter are late-era Grateful Dead at their best! Invigorating! Check out the grunt ol' Jer lets out right after the accapella part of the "one way or the other" sing along. These old guys could rock when they wanted to!

Vince's keys are mixed waaay too high - often stepping on Jerry's guitar - still, it's not too hard to listen around them - and the all-around enthusiastic playing makes this show well worth the download.

This is a very nice show. Bertha opener is strong and the New Speedway Boogie was wonderful to hear again. The download is very clear, good board. Enjoy!

This show is famous for the New Speedway Boogie bust-out (a commentary on the Gulf War, it seemed at the time), but it also has some nifty second-set jamming. China > Rider and Crazy Fingers are particularly nice. It's a shame that Vince's keyboards are mixed as high they are, but they don't dampen the fun or the energy.
