Subject: very laid back...dare I say a bit boring
this show was over the top laid back. dam near put me to sleep. absolutely no energy in the band whatso-ever. Steve Miller was the wrong person for them to tour with IMO. I believe him to be somewhat responsible for the plethora of mediocre shows on this tour. Oh and Wince(not to mention his songs) without the back up of Bruce has share of the blame as well.
I'll never forget at the end of this tour Bobby says "say thanks Stevie".
like they were doing him a huge favor by letting him tour with them.
2 and a half stars for the performance. don't know what this source sounds like.
5 stars for Buffalo.- cool people, cool campgrounds, Niagara Falls, and Canada only a short walk across the river and payment of 25 cents.
had a grand time drinking up there. still a month short of 21. Canada's drinking age was 18 for some reason. I think only on certain days or certain times? I forget.
I like Canada.

Loud train horns warning us that Casey Jones was coming.First verse Dark star in Richfeild Later to close the song later on tour.What a great buzz selling guaties on tour.

Subject: Not bad for a first show
This was my first show and its safe to say I was hooked. Saw bunch more before it all ended . . . may not have been the best one I saw but its one I'll never forget.

Subject: 6-6-92
In response to Terrapin31590 recommendations for summer 92, I would also highly recommmend the first night of Richfield (6-8-92) and the first night of Knickerbocker (6-11-92). Personally I think both of those are stronger shows than the 6-20-92 RFK Casey Jones bust out, but that's just my take on it.

Subject: I like buffalo
buffalo was great, niagra falls and the dead. previous years were better, but a pretty decent east coast tour opener. sound is pretty decent too, at least there's no hiss.

Subject: agree
I agree with the reviewer before me on all counts. Average show and his comments on Vince are on the money. Nothing against the guy but he never expanded or brought any energy to the band. I liked baba as well, wish they played it more instead of I fought the law as an encore every other night.

Subject: Solid '92
Not exactly a ringing endorsement I know, but this set 2 only SBD of 6/6/92 shows the Dead competently performing a good set list of music. This version appears to be the monitor mix as brief comments like "quarter", "hold it", etc are heard through the music. I like that inside the bubble feel but the sound itself seems low through most of the set. Iko kicks off solidly, if unspectactularly followed by a great Estimated>Same Thing.

Just a side comment, but this was Vince's first tour sans Bruce and by this point about 100 shows under his belt, I am really surprised at how limited his range was in terms of creating interesting leads for the keyboard. Between the shows and Bruce's tutelage I would have thought Vince would have soared by this point, but it's just not the case. While he does provide some nice support groove to Estimated and the Same Thing it seems like he and Jerry just don't JIVE like Jerry and Bruce (and certainly not Keith or Brent). To me, Vince does much better on "bob" tunes like estimated than Jerry tunes like "He's Gone" and that is certainly the case here.

Drums>Space is actually a highlight itself, with the locomotive theme that would be used to great effect 6/20 with the Casey Jones bust out melting into a nice Other One. Weir is not on the top of his game, he flubs a number of lines on Throwing Stones and frustratingly cuts off a couple of percolating jams, most particularly a brief Spanish Jam out of Space that leads to an awkwardly sung first verse of the Other One since the time signature is all out of whack.

I might be in the minority, but I like Baba>TNK, I like Vince's pipes and he really digs into the material. This is a solid show from 1992, I would recommend the December 1992 run in Oakland and the aforementioned 6/20 if you want to get the cream of the crop.
