| Dick's Review | He’s Gone has a very long ending that is kind of nice. Big River is really extended and very exciting. Bird Song is also especially unique and exceptional. Playin' In The Band is the most creative playing in the first set, although it isn’t particularly eventful. The jam following Truckin' is quite (11 min) lengthy and up-tempo and contains interesting jamming. The long intro to The Other One is very unique with Garcia scorchingly weaving in and out and all around this primal and fundamental theme. Suddenly during The Other One everybody except Bill and Phil stop and we get a great and absolutely missed these days solo by Phil. In fact this just might be the best one ever!) After the re-entry into The Other One, the mood eases into a typically feastful “Brain-Fry” that contains great creative interplay. I guess this kind of mood is really my most favorite of all experiences after this is a nice introspective and delicate segment that moves gradually into a fine jam closer. Sugar Magnolia is pretty awesome!!!!! |
