    <reviewbody>Just llistened to the second set of this show for the first time.  It sounded about average for a summer 72 show, until about 13 minutes into The Other One.  At that point the song morphed into 2 or 3 different melodic jams (I've never heard on any other shows), and an extended Phil solo.  Michael Getz decsribed this more eloquently in the Taping Compendium.  Four stars for the show, but five for The Other One.</reviewbody>

    <reviewbody>I agree with this review.  The rest of the show is OK, but not great.  There's an odd little jam out of Truckin, and The Other One is very exploratory; perhaps they got lost in it.  It's quite worth a listen.  The sound is excellent barring a few minor dropouts.</reviewbody>

    <reviewbody>Promised Land has Mr Weir very prominently featured, above everyone else; I don't think I heard Keith @ all.   It almost sounds like someone played a guitar OVER the original recording it's that loud---it's almost annoying.   Sugaree has the same issue with Bob's part.   Hearing it in head phones, Bob's part is the only one you hear in your right ear &amp; everyone else is rather low in the left.   Wait---the rest of the band is now heard @ about 1:50 into Sugaree &amp; the sound is more balanced.   The sound balance issue hasn't carried over to any of the other songs, so all's well I guess.&#13;
&#13;
Other than the balance issue in the beginning, the music is put together as well as is could have been in the summer of '72, which is to say it's really good.   As good as in Europe or a month later in Veneta, OR?   Not quite, but I have NOTHING even remotely bad to say about this performance.   I think it's a couple notches above what was released as an official download from GDP last year, the whole of 7/22 &amp; a few songs from 7/21---both at the same theatre as this show.   Unforunately I've not gotten to The Other One yet which it's been said in the previous ratings &amp; in the GD Forum is WAY out there---I can't wait.&#13;
&#13;
Solid 4 Stars (1972 Stars, so that's pretty F'n good)&#13;
&#13;
***7/2/07 ammendment---this show was @ a different Paramount Theatre than the 21st &amp; 22nd shows, and the official D/L release was the whole of the 21st &amp; part of the 22nd.   And about THE OTHER ONE---all I have to say is "WOW!!!"   Another thing about the jam section of TOO---the "weird" little jams start @ about 6 min into it, not 13 min.   Though they do continue clear through until Bob f's up the lyrics.</reviewbody>
