What a pair of wonderful vintage audience recordings! Jerry is rather uninspired during Scarlet, but more than redeems himself later, unearthing for the first time a year a Comes a Tme that is played to an astonished and near silent audience. There is a very slight dropout 25 seconds into Sugar Magnolia on my disc. My guess is its probably on the cassette master as the whole place sounds like its shaking extremely intensely right about then! Many thanks to Noah and whomever else may be responsible for these gems.
