Dick's ReviewThe show is very good as I recall! Things start slowly as is the case with most shows from this period. China Cat > I Know You Rider is the 1st sign of something happening and it is one of the better versions from this period. Bertha is also quite tasty. Playin' In The Band is probably the major highlight of the 1st set. Although nothing jumped out at me very much. Here Comes Sunshine is usually pretty hot ((Scratched out)) but in this case things hardly get off the ground ((end scratch off)) The clear and obvious highlight of the show is the jam. Dark Star is introverted and more inhibited than usual for the 1st half and then it becomes quite extroverted and aggressive. Lesh’s solo is kind of interesting and unusual but nothing too exciting. Before moving into Eyes Of The World there is a nice jam section where Garcia and Lesh combine to make a pleasing and captivating segment. Eyes Of The World is very intense. Seems like these older versions are much more exciting than nowadays
