Notes SBD - thanks eD :). SOund quality is good. El Paso is VERY SLOW. Up to Good Lovin' standard 71. Good Lovin is more engaging, doesn't have an extended rap. The highlight of set 2 for me was the NFA > GDTRFB believe it or not. With so many versions this year, many sound similar or mechanical but this one is slightly unusual. The NFA has some engaging Garcia melodic lines and it is slower and comes across as "happier" than versions with an edge to it. Though the rest of the show isn't special, I would try to hear this NFA > GDTRFB once to see if you find it a pleasureable excursion. I also noted some cuts in Truckin' that chop it up a bit making it difficult to say if it were more intact how the set 2 segue section would rank as a whole.
