Both reviewers mention how well-integrated the band is, and both single out Garcia for particular praise ("one of the best musicians there is" - "his lofty position in contemporary music remains untouched"). And oddly, both of them also praise Weir's singing in the country songs like El Paso. <br />Kemnitz is obviously fond of the Dead, heaping on the superlatives. (He must be one of the few, though, who would single out Let Me Sing Your Blues Away as the standout among the new songs - especially since it wasn't actually played at this show! Maybe he was thinking of a different song.) <br />He notes the "interruptions by a perturbed fire marshal determined to clear the aisles" - a frequent & unwelcome guest in Dead shows of those years, with 12/1/73 being one example. But the other reviewer more happily notes the absence of arrests. <br />It's interesting to see that the crowd (at least those not already dancing) came to its feet in Playin' in the Band - probably when the Dead returned to the reprise. (Audience tapes of that period often show the audience going nuts & clapping the beat at that point - and at this show they would have been totally unprepared for the Playin' sequence.)Light Into Asheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06943335142002007213noreply@blogger.com
