Notes sbd clugston [2007-02-26]Must hear the soundcheck for the band jamming out to some blues tunes. Sort of a folksy home feeling of the 80's acoustic sets excepting its electric! Very goo dsound and mix with some amplitude distortion on Phil's base during loud portions (see C>R for example). Never thought I'd be saying that Big River is a standout but this is a good one with the mix allowing you to listen to Bobby on the left, Keith right. Jerry responds with an unusal Brokedown Palace mid set 1 after the trio of up beat tunes. Set 2 has two long "clear the aisles" raps. Ironically, Lesh says that if you want us to play ice hockey rinks you don't have to clear the aisles (they played the Garden on 4/3 after the 9/72 run at the BMH). In the 2nd rap,Bobby is about to make a promise regarding St Stephen when Jerry and Phil jump in to tell him not to promise anything. amusing because the band had clearly made a decision not to play that song at that time while the fans were persistently asking for it. The PITB>UJB>PITB sandwich is very good and worth a listen. Very good show considering the even better performances before and after. Don't let those stear you away from giving this a spin.
