General Notes:
By popular vote, this show got the nod for Sick Bits Vol. 10 for obvious
reasons. First and foremost, this show absolutely rocks, with Jerry often
employing a telecaster style twang on the likes of Ramble On Rose, Bertha,
GDTRFB, Johnny B Goode and epitomized in Playin' - that country twang thang
(uptempo, the way I like it - especially in the Reprise). Morning Dew is
impressive, but the spirit of the aforementioned tunes is where the sickness
is, especially the Goin' Down The Road, the highlight of an amazing second set.
Of note is the second electric On The Road Again since 1966 (3 in that year),
and it is one of 4 played in '81 (one of those being acoustic - Melk Weg) with
there only being 12 electric versions post 1980 when it was a staple in their
acoustic set.
Three sources from the LMA provided coverage for this matrix: a okay SBD,
and different, but nice sounding AUDs for each set. The result in my mind
is a very worthy matrix, because each source on its own do not do this
show justice. There are some mix issues from Healy's end on the SBD
(covered in the editing notes), and it should be known that the first two
tunes (Shakedown and CC Rider) and Drums do not circulate in SBD, so there
is no resulting matrix.
This show was not easy to matrix, but in the end it was well worth it. I
definately ended up rediscovering this gem, mainly because the power that is
conveyed in the recording is palpable; and that same energy, albeit raging,
was more diffuse in the AUD I've enjoyed for years. So here's the best of both
worlds - this one is a definate candidate for most improved sound, even though
the final result is not nearly as crisp as the '81 Chicago Uptowns (SB Vols. 2). |
