Dick's Review | I’ve never thought much about this show, after hearing it once or twice, a couple of years ago, but others who were there continually tell me that it was a good show. Everything sounds lifeless until the 1st set closing medley which is only interesting because of its inherent free-form style. This version sounds pretty dull and very laid-back. The re-entry back into Playin' In The Band is very long 10-15 min. and is more like the spacey style of Dark Star. The 2nd set is almost as flat as the 1st set. Let It Grow is good but after this it is downhill until The Other One which is clearly the best playing of the show. The transition to The Music Never Stopped is kind of neat with Phil doing a solo that blends nicely into the next tune. |
