I am certain this interesting list will need to be modified, but this topic has been twirling around all head. I am thinking what are they going into? It's uncharted waters, and I'm thinking 1978, St Stephen, but they turn 15 minutes later in Bertha, an "inspired choice" according to Light Into Ashes from my prior post. Overall: sleepy feel to this show that still works, set 1 is very good with excellent versions of TLEO and China Cat, and the big jam in set 2 is awesome with Dark Star and Eyes as the highlights.So it's New Years Eve at my 52nd show. Thoughts-might as well post my entire "notes" of this oneSet 1-Here Comes Sunshine: 5 1/2 minute jam, pretty relaxed but in a good way, honey-dripping, very good though not a monster version Overall: sleepy feel to this show that still works, set 1 is very good with excellent versions of TLEO and China Cat, and the big jam in set 2 is awesome with Dark Star and Eyes as the highlights. GDTRFB: 2 very good to excellent solos always nice Goodnight Jam outro WRS: all 1 track and I will review it as such Prelude and Part 1 are very good, as always, but no different than other versions, Jerry hits some nice notes Grow starts at 6:20 excellent short solo very good jam and outro 15:38 total Eyes//of the World: 1st verse at 0:55 excellent though not long 1st and 2d solos Cut occurs after "sometimes the songs that we hear are just songs" and picks up during the chorus, so just a reel flip and not missing too much Phil prominent early in the jam, moves into the typical breakdown/loop jam for the period, which is always nice (referred to as the "repeating-riff jam" by in the Early Thematic Jams post), gets very cool, awesome, starts to disintegrate at 15:45 mark great version Stella: very good version, though no killer solo or anything Dark Star: about 1 minute of tuning before the song after the intro, dancing around the main theme, move away from the main theme around 5:30 mark, spacier, some cool repetitive notes from Bobby, the rest of the band falls in including Jerry eventually, almost Sergio Leone spaghetti western music, but not quite, cosmic cowboys, very cool, MLB jam begains at 13:00 min, Jerry plays some slide, space sadness, MLB jam ends about the 16 min mark and transitions pretty quickly into the main theme: first verse at 16:45 space after the verse and main theme, moments of almost total silence, the gravity of gravy, Wavy or otherwise, delicate strumming, hints of a Martian carnival, some cool sounds from Keith, a few lounge-like notes from Jerry 27:12 total (not including the tuning, note that the rest of the timings include the 1 min tuning), excellent version 1/2 Step: solid short solos dreamy feel to the short jam before the "across the rio grand-e-o" nice outro Overall: a sleepy set that works, just about everything is very good with TLEO and China Cat as the highlights, and Sunshine, LL Rain and Playing coming close Playing: Bobby has some problems with the 1st verse jam starts at 3:10, mellow start, little bit of Phil, little bit of Bobby, little bit of Jerry, Keith comes in, spacey and jazzy, not too far out there, stays in the solar system, heady stuff, Jerry keeps teasing the main theme, at 17:35 back to the main theme 20:14 total, very good version Rider: Jerry comes in way late on the "I wish I was a headlight" verse, missing a line or 2, but atones with an excellent run in the jam China Cat: jam gets moving, Feelin' Groovy about the 7 min mark, excellent, arriving at Rider at 8:45 mark (all 1 track) TLEO: kinda funny that the pace picks up with this one (a song that would slow down in later years) not that I am complaining about the show, it is sleepy but in a good way wonderful solo, Jerry really loves playing this song in '73 LL Rain: so mellow, beautiful playing from Jerry and Keith throughout, really nice short solo Ramble: very good short solo Jerry messes up 1st line of next verse Set 1-Here Comes Sunshine: 5 1/2 minute jam, pretty relaxed but in a good way, honey-dripping, very good though not a monster version
