Notes: clugston seed [2007-09-03]Ok, here's Dr. Flashback's comments, which tend to be more positive than mine but more amusing to read. The TOO is difficult to judge given the lengthy cut in the jam. The Darkness and St Stephen jams in GDTRFB were less than the hype - not everyone in the band is particpating and they aren't integrated into the flow - almost like there might have been some equipment issue and Jerry is filling the space. Generally a laid back show that is available in better than average sound quality for 1970. "Yes, even Santa himself took time out of his busy schedule to attend this one. Well, maybe not, but his jolly spirit is certainly in abundance tonight. A well played show with many highlights. As we know, good SBD's from the fall and Dec of 1970 are about as rare as Barbara Bush twirling at a Dead show. So just the fact that, although this show has a few nasty cuts (esp. in the Other One), there's no AUD patches and the quality of the SBD is good, maybe A-, should interest you 1970 collectors. Disc One features a nice variety of songs, with the somewhat rare additions of Brokedown, which is well sung, and King Bee. Garcia gets some hot licks in during Hard to Handle. But it's the China Cat that really gets the show rolling. Jerry just shoots laser beams of sound at you, and you can practically hear his tubes glowing with that fat, crunchy tone he's getting here. And hats off to Bobby, his guitar work on China Cat is also very good, listen for his solo. Rider is up tempo, and the vocals are spot on. There are some volume fluctuations in RxR Blues, but it rocks nonetheless. Then King Bee is a real standout. Once again the Dead prove they can play the blues and that they've studied Muddy Waters like a book. A tasty version of Dire Wolf begins Disc Two, then the boys trip us back to 1968 with a short but stellar version of the Other One. Garcia really soars, then takes things down to just quiet cymbals and high-necked musings before building back up to the driving theme riff. Then it's cut. What a crime !!! And the 2nd Cryptical, which was likely 8-10 minutes, is also missing. However, the remainer of the show is so hot, it more than compensates. GDTRFB is long and very jammy, and Garcia's brief Darkness Jam is a nice interlude. The 2nd NFA starts with a St. Stephen riff, then blasts back to home base. Finally, Pigpen brings the house down with a fine rendition of Good Lovin, and the UJB to close is icing on the cake! A show that deserves to be heard, and a solid addition to your 1970 stash, cuts and all. enjoy, Dr. Flashback :-)
