Notes set 1 really drags and Jerry's voice still shot. One of the poorest sets I've heard. Set 2 picks up a bit in the jam portion but better versions exist on other nights so skip this unless you went or are collecting. [2006-10-01]Gave this another listen. Set 1 is typical for the tour. I generally find the songs not that interesting. The piano comes across with distortion esp. on the places where Keith is playing loud chords. Set 2 jam is better than my 1st review. Estimated w/ the distorted Garcia sound develops that groovy stony Estimated space. Eyes is good. The NFA is another strong extended version. Probably the best that can be expected for a show with small turnout (comment from Phil about a high school b-ball game being stiff competition.
