Subject: Excellent 74 Aud

The Charlie Miller soundboard is still the best -- no, I take that back, the CM soundboard is a Half Step high in pitch. But this is very good for an audience tape (and is in the proper pitch); you can find some good ones from 74 with the Wall of Sound, and this is one of them. And the show, omigod, the show!! Just look at the setlist, know it's 74, and isn't it obvious it's 5 stars? But I will point out that China>Rider is doubtless the single greatest version ever, at least from 73-74 (there are great ones from later but that D major jam (known as "Philo Stomp" when it was played in the key of A in Dark Star) to me is essential, and this has the IMO probably the single best rendition).

The audience recordings really bring out the lilt in Jerry's guitar from 74. This one also has booming bass which is a bit too much for my 40 year-old speakers, and Jerry's guitar distorts a bit when he gets way up there. I counter that somewhat by turning down both the bass and treble knobs (I don't have an equalizer). If you have excellent condition, high quality speakers, this won't be a problem for you.
