t11. Honky Tonk Women [5:15] [0:15] %

! R: t11 there's a second long drop about 20 seconds into HTW, and another about 2:20 in. These were listed as splices, but I think they're real-time dropouts and don't affect the timing.
! R: Taper and/or taper buddy/neighbor is very excited about Honky Tonk Women, and is singing along enthusiastically.

! R: not bad for an unlineaged audience recording, late 1970. There is a fair amount of warble and such. The bass isn't very distinct. But most everything else is right here where you can hear it.
! P: the show has a nice, laid-back feel. IDKY is real nice.

! historical: When had Garcia played pedal steel in Chicago before this? First time!
