I agree with EcceHomo and David B 1986: Wow - the opener - a half hour of Mississippi Half Step > Franklin's Tower. Both are excellent! Bobby's El Paso > Mexicali is fun too (it always is - and that's because I'm a cowboy at heart).This show in retrospect, after eleven freakin' months of horror, is the very beginnings of our daring-do band leader's getting back to decent form, vocally, again perched on the precipice of disaster with tonight's singing, having turned the 28th of October into a complete sonic fiasco - nay catastrophe - a few days before in South Yarmouth (see my very upset and saddened Seamons MTX review). Will Jerry and the band crash and burn again tonight? For the first 5:52 of Half Step, the issue is in question.You have to have a little patience with getting through 3:45 minutes of a distant B.O.B. AUD which quickly merges into the SBD and two minutes of a clearly straining Jerry to find out. Thankfully, teetering and falling into the abyss is avoided before getting to the music-playing body and Franklin's. Then you can relax into a fun and very uptempo twenty-five minutes.This has to be one of the shortest shows I can recall in the modern era. And, but for the opener, it's only an average one. The matrix bumps it up to four stars (but just barely) for it to be added to the collection. No "X" Factor from The Boyz tonight. Had to do the usual Soundforge editing of adding reverb to this matrix to soften The Boyz vocals.
