Three recordings and very few reviews. Reviews from this recording:
REVIEW: Oh yeah, that’s the stuff
Mr. Miller, we salute you
REVIEW: grateful
Whoa, where did this come from…All of the sudden we have a sbd of this whole show! Once
again, thank you Charlie Miller. Caution>UJB
REVIEW: Last 2 minutes of “Caution”: what is that song?
It sounds so familiar, yet I cannot identify it. Does anyone know?
REVIEW: Pigpen
on harp with Jer on RR Blues! on organ with Keith on piano! as always, as Deadheads, we
listened through the noise (cassettes!). and there’s some transcendent moments here . especially
the jam leading to Uncle John’s.
REVIEW: GREAT SHOW FROM A GRATE RUN
This 7-night stand at the Academy of Music was long overshadowed by the monumental Europe
tour and the fact that, until a few years ago, was only available in barely listenable audience
recordings. Well, this is a wonderful show from a wonderful run of shows that prove to be a great
precursor to the epic Europe tour. The jam between CAUTION and UJB is some of the most
beautiful music the band has played and kind of reminds me a little of MOUNTAIN JAM meets
ZABRISKIE POINT. There are many other great highlights from this show, including gorgeous
versions of LOOKS LIKE RAIN and 2 SOULS played for only the 2nd time.
Review from another recording:
REVIEW: from a whisper to a scream
This show is another reason why one could be forgiven for considering 1972 as their peak. The
Wharf Rat alone contains everything from a whisper to scream: sheer marverlous dynamics. The
band as a whole was truly listening to each other other. Fantastic, brilliant performance:
wonderful recording.
