| Dick's Review | The 1st set is slow in starting (in terms of excitement) but things begin to change with a fairly hot Passenger. An unusual aspect of this show is that Weir is beginning to play slide guitar more, like he brings into clearer focus on the April and May tour of 1978.The closing jam doesn’t really standout until they get to Dancin' In The Streets which is performed in a most unusual and very exciting way. The drum solo is really one of the best I’ve ever heard and it goes into an awesome version of Not Fade Away! Relentless in its assault and also at a more punchier and faster tempo than the way they play it after 1978. There are apparent speed problems with this recording as they are playing Black Peter It all ends very abruptly with a nice version of Around And Around)1st time in a while I haven’t heard them do an encore!) |
