This isn't a head-bobbing show. In fact, much of it is pretty sleepy (Jerry doesn't seem to be putting forth much effort for portions) and there are plenty of throwaway songs (1st 4 songs of set 1, 1st 1/2 of set 2). But there is gold in this show-Eyes from set 1 and the Other One from set 2. The final jam in Eyes is a monster, really gets moving, great counterpoint from Bobby. The entire jam sequence in set 2, beginning with Truckin', is at least very good, and the Other One is excellent, containing a racing Jerry who gets ahead of himself and the rest of the band, a deep space 2d jam containing an epic confrontation with a beastly alien, won by a battered and bruised Garcia, some Rick Wakeman-like classical piano from Keith (who has a great show), hints of MLB jam, and a great Other One-proper jam. This is one of those shows that you should cut apart to make a great mixed tape, so don't skip the good stuff here even though half of it is blah. Good+ show, 8/10
