The only review from this particular recording:
REVIEW: –
I’m not really interested in the argument over which ’91 show was the best: I don’t think ’91 was that good
a year. But the 2nd set of this show stands with their best performances, and this Dark Star is well-played
and very jazzedelic.

From other recordings:
REVIEW: April Fools
I was at both of these shows.This was the better of the two.First set was nice with Jack straw>Peggy-o to
open.Hornsby sounds nice in the mix!I enjoyed him on this spring run.The 2nd set is solid with a spacey
Dark star!Sound is very good. The Greensboro shows were some of the best of the year.Give them a
Listen!!!!

REVIEW: listen to jack straw
near the end of jerry’s solo (at end of song) he gets turned up dramatically. it sounds great!

REVIEW: good show
Garcia in great form on Rider, a very nice Dark Star, 16 minute Bird Song…

REVIEW: Dead at Greensboro
This is a great show. It is from the Bruce Hornsby period. Too bad, he didn’t stick around longer. He added
a lot to the jazzier side of the Dead.

REVIEW: Oh What A Dark Star
MONSTER DARK STAR!

REVIEW: the Greatest Birdsong ever??
Beautiful sound on a seriously epic show with with Bruce rollin’ please take a listen;-!!

REVIEW: Jerry, play Dark Star
I shirtless hippy in the upper deck yelled, “Jerry, play Dark Star” and they did.
Acid was strong that night and the narcs were out in full force. It was an exciting two days and nights and
my first seeing the Dead. It was probally the best period since the late 1970s.

REVIEW: Sweet
Someone finally plugs Jerry in @ 5:20 in Jack Straw ! (Oh ! The licks lost to the ages ! ) Listen, this
was one of the last great shows the boys played…. Thank God for the boards, they fried a loud speaker
in NY, and there was this annoying crackle coming from it for the rest of the tour… These two Greensboro
shows and the first night of Orlando were a glory to behold. I miss ya, Jer….

REVIEW: my first show!
I was 16 and drove my parents beat up old suburban to the show packed full of friends. I was too young to
get what a special show it was, but loved it, loved it. Loved the parking lot — that blew my mind as much
as the show did. Of course, China-rider was my favorite that night and loved it’s all over now baby blue,
didn’t know how special Dark Star was. Remember seeing everyone hugging when Phil started the
baseline — my thought was, oh Dark Star, cool, I’ve got a few of these on some late 60’s bootlegs. Had an
incredible time, though, hooked me for good. 1 week later on a family vacation, my 6 y/o brother pulled
1/2 a joint from between the seat cushions and said “what’s this?”….I had a little explaining to do.

REVIEW: ChinaRider
The keys are a little loud again, as they were often–and again, I love Hornsby, at least when he is on keys
not accordion, and he does tear it up, but it’s hard to hear the rest of the band. I don’t remember there ever
being a problem inside the shows, but many ’91 SBs seem to have the issue. The Charlie Miller copy is
better for this (and most other copies) with one exception–China and Rider are separated..In any case, the
band is ON. I heard this China/Rider was a great version, and indeed it is! I would give this recording a
five star rating for the period, minus one star for the loud keyboard volume levels, plus one star for
keeping China and Rider together without a track change. I love the medleys and jam transitions that are
not broken with any amount of dead air.
