Notes sbd [p2007-08-27]From the info file "BIODTL through I Know you Rider: right channel mix is all Bobby with Jerry and the vocals on the left channel. Mix balances out in Black Peter." and a LMA comment "This show is, of course, the bust benefit for the previous day's shenanigans. The band certainly plays with conviction (no pun intended), though it's difficult to really tell with such an uneven mix on this SBD." Bob Weir is mixed far too high on this recording, so much that the drums are inaudible and Jerry & Phil barely audible. Every single note and chord he plays is perfectly clear, as well as every mistake he makes. Of course, this show is highly recommended for fans of Weir's playing, or those that felt he is overshadowed by Jerry & Phil. Two other criticisms - the drums before TOO are too long ~11 minutes, and Lovelight with Peter Green is also long and repetitive (his guitar playing seems out of tune) - some of the electric organ/piano playing about 19:00 is odd. Basically skip this date - sound is off and sub par versions on the jam section.
