Subject: -- Fans of Phil will love this one - check out his work on the Good Lovin' intro.



It's so great to have all the Brooklyn shows where they belong on the archive. Now we can finally sift through the entire run for the best of the bunch. The usual suspects are the gems here - Playin', the second set Truckin' suite, et al. Pig plays harp on Big RR Blues!



Ultimately, this show isn't the best of the run due to sound issues. Some tracks are pretty mangled soundwise, and there is that presistent buzz throughout the first set, esp. during Jerry's tunes (his mic, maybe??) - April 22, 2018--

Subject: Playin'Jam Far as I can tell, the last PITB before this was Winterland on Jan. 2. It runs a bit over 6:00, making this the first truly extended Playin' jam where they go unbridled stratospheric after the first set of vocal verses. In case, like me, you've ever wondered. - November 20, 2014Playin'Jam

Subject: Pig is in the house! Is that Pigpen I hear doing background vocals on Ramble on Rose? Plus there's a nice harp on Big Railroad Blues. Always thought that Ron sort of faded out in the second sets towards the end. Guess he was feeling good in the run-up to Europe. I love it! As another reviewer said, I normally don't download anything after the summer of '72. They were still a great band, but I can't get over the missing piece. - May 1, 2014Pig is in the house!

Subject: Great run, want to hear more Much of this run at the Academy of music is missing from archive (or are represented by some rough auds). Some great music to heard for sure. I like 3-23's performance better but this show is no slouch with a top-10 Cumberland and a really nice OO and Truckin'. - December 13, 2012Great run, want to hear more

Reviewer: rrschwz28 - favorite favorite favorite favorite favorite - August 16, 2012

Subject: Also... Fabulous PITB, top-ten Cumberland. And Truckin' is great - you can actually hear Pigpen's organ!



The spring of '72 is Ron's swan song - he seems to lose energy by the second set. And then...he was gone.



I rarely download anything past the summer of '72, when he played his last show. - August 16, 2012Also...

Subject: No Turning Back Now! Only my 2nd set of shows. First one a few mos. earlier at The Felt Forum 12/71. Sta in the orchestra at the funky-far-out Academy of Music. Mirrored ball twisting and turning during TOO and when the boys ventured into deep space. Love these Academy shows. After these ther was no turning back. My seat was secured on the bus! Check out the stand alone Dark Star a few nights later. 3/23/if memory serves. - August 16, 2012No Turning Back Now!

Subject: love this show Love this show, love this venue and love that year. And really, really love the Grateful Dead! Just finished Phil's "Searching For The Sound", so I'm feeling a little melancholy about our favorite band and our favorite lead guitarist.



Black Throated Wind is great, and Jerry's wah-wah on Greatest Story is a joy.



This is five stars from start to finish. - June 28, 2011love this show

Subject: solid 72 can definitely hear the changes coming over the band coming out of 71, great loaded 72 show here, only problems are it buzzes throughout, mostly in the beginning, are there any better sources?



other than the buzz, which is bearable, this is a super show, tenn jed stands out in my memory but all songs were played well and enjoyable, love the tunes! good lovin > casey great end to first set too - March 22, 2011solid 72

Subject: sound mix the beginning mix seems to have bobby really in front with jerry's guitar invisible. jerry's voice is low. but as the notes state that the mix is off in the beginning. the tuning between bertha and balck throated wind, bob says something like 'what we have here is a case of new stings' btw sounds tight. the mixing with bob still higher than jerry. his voice sonds great but is his gutiar still suffeing from a case of new strings? on my eq i put the bass really high, phil rocks. - January 1, 2011sound mix

Subject: snojon's question Snojon, I always wondered that my self. It seems like after 1978 the audio quality of most of these shows is not as good as shows from the early 70s and even some from the 60s. I guess though, its a good thing as those 70s shows are Smokin - December 13, 2010snojon's question

Subject: great early renditions this show clearly shows a band in transition.

very interesting to listen to these songs in the early developmental stages. this is a band that was always evolving, and during the time period of this show, they were evolving on a nightly basis. I'm lucky to have stumbled across this show in the archives



One thing though I could never figure out though.

Why do these early 70's recordings sometimes have a better sound quality than some of the shows from the 90's. Did the technology get worst? - June 21, 2009great early renditions

Subject: Here's the first set and crystal clear after some initial mixing problems and the mentioned hum, tis show is the dress rehearsal for the Europe Tour. All the groundwork laid in autumn 1971 blooms here and the band is cooking. A lot of the blues tunes have a barroom band feel to them, a sound they lost along the way. But Next Time You See Me, You Win Again, Cumberland Blues and Big RR Blues sound like a Saturday night at a honky tonk. And that is a good thing! Pigpen? At this stage of his life he is balling! - August 3, 2008Here's the first set and crystal clear
