Three dips of Playing. How many times does that happen? Not very, that's for sure.

Subject: PHENOMENAL AUD RECORDING

Bob Wagner --

This may be the best sounding recording I have ever heard; it is truly singular. Just as close as you can get without being there. Thank you for sharing this priceless recording.

The show is pretty freaking hot too! Shakedown is one of the coolest versions ever. El Paso and Jack A Roe are probably the best versions I have heard of those songs. I have no idea why they didn't jam out El Paso more, but this one has got a very unique and excellent jam in it that most versions do not have.

Just tons of unique stuff in every song and the MIX is EXCELLENT. You can hear Bob and Phil clearly--an all too rare thing after 1974.

PEOPLE -- THIS IS ONE OF THE VERY BEST THINGS ON ARCHIVE. STOP WHAT YOU ARE DOING AND DOWNLOAD IT.

I listen to probably 80% 1968-1974, but this is the kind of show that makes me think I need to spend more time in the 1980-1982 period.

Subject: slowest play and softest play

Clean and crisp. You can feel the size of the room on this recording. Small and home like. (I've never been there, but I have now felt the vibe.)

Shakedown is the slowest play and softest play I've heard. It is beautiful and well pronounced by Jerry. Brent, ever present.

Great Cassidy.

Althea, another tearful of goodbye. Beautiful and slow and deliberativly crisp.

Sweet Jack-a-roe.

Playing in the band ONE is an interesting fusion jam in the second half.

Drums rocks.

Excellent Encore of US Blues.

Great job Charlie and company with this recording!!

I attended 35 shows from 88 to 00 with The Other Ones.
