Notes aud - [2006-04-24] First FEast show. Supposedly its the late show, listenable aud tape with only a bit of distortion when the volume gets loud, little crowd. Suposedly no sbd exists in the vault. Here's the setlist. Feedback-> The Eleven-> Saint Stephen, Alligator-> Turn On Your Love Light-> Caution (Do Not Stop on Tracks)-> Drums-> Caution (Do Not Stop on Tracks)-> Feedback. Feedback starts and after a while, Phil slowly starts strumming the bass chord to the 11 so its emerges out of Feedback. Both 11 and St. Stephen are played too fast for my taste (deson;t sound like a pitch issue). Alligator and Lovelight are short versions, with the main jam of the set occuring in Caution which is a must hear version. Again, things are paced too fast but its like a locomotive with too much momentum. Its ends again in Feedback. An interesting setlist to bookend the feedback (apparently the band walked on 1:1 and off 1:1 to start and end the set.) The review in the TC is accurate to the music. To my ears this tape is too fast. Besides extremely fast Garcia playing, check out the crowd clapping at the end of the set. There was very little crowd noise during the set, but theb clapping that follows is very fast, almost physically impossible to replicate.
