Notes cotsman patched sbd. most complete as of 10/02 [2007-03-18]Standard delivery set 1 with a nice Bird Song, but little cohesion as the songs alternate between slow and faster tunes. Set 2 continues more or less in this fashion until the improv section of Dark Star > El Paso > EOTW >Dew. Sound quality and mix are ok but more of a PA feed than your Betty Board mixed for your ears listening pleasure. Fortunately, the jam section is available in much better quality. My split ratings convey that the jam section is a must hear but the rest is optional. On my last hearing I noticed that Garcia was adding some subtle variety in his note selection on Half-step and Row Jimmy, almost like he was started to wake up and get prepared for the jam on the horizon. One last comment is that after listening to much of 73 the EOTW are delivered with this mechanical feel to it - even though it has a long improv section, it just seems to evolve with a predetermined goal - maybe its the Stronger Than Dirt jams that occur at the end.
