There are no reviews for this particular recording. The following are from others, again indicating a
very under-listenened-to show:
REVIEW: Oh I missed this one,,,,
I was outside this show and couldn’t get in it was my one west coast dead show, oh well caught Jerry at
the wharfield right before that so i was still floating,,,this show is HOT I would love to hear the SBD
just for that drums in space alone amazing,,,,
REVIEW: Best show of the run.
This is the strongest show of the three night Oakland run, with the band on better form than the
previous night, and Jerry especially playing somewhat better. The first set has some shakey moments,
but the second set gets off to a fine start with a rocking Victim (gotta love the drum intro) followed by a
VERY soulful Speedway Boogie.
REVIEW: interesting how they….
I was there too, All three nights. Even while I was there, I was very sad about how they played the first
night, then the second night first set, I am sad to say I thought it was god-freakin-awful. And then they
did that thing they sometimes did in the late-later days….. out of nowhere they remembered how to
play, REALLY play. The Victim is really amazing and I would love to know about a Speedway better
than this one. The recording doesn’t do it justice but if you really listen you can hear the nuances that
make it spectacular. I loved the whole second set. Still do! The third night was also really
disappointing… but this second set is amazing. I hope someone puts up a good recording someday, if
only of this part of the run. 🙂 4 stars for the stellar second, and so this show gets some attention…
REVIEW: might as
well better when enjoyed with great times always!!! Just cannot seem to escape the awe of every unique
performance this musical era produces…..the best of times
