Subject: great to hear it after all this time The audience tapes have been fine, but it's a real pleasure to hear such a clean, strong tape of this very enjoyable show. I certainly agree with jtseay that Pittsburgh and Roanoke (musically more night 2) were the highlight shows of the summer - they were the most "87-y" in a good way, bursting with energy and strength. 5 stars is objectively out of line I suppose, but I don't feel bad about grading on a "wow, finally!" curve.



Most of the Healy Ultramatrix tapes of this era are in the very poor to mediocre range, so either this is a wonderful exception, Charlie did something magical (could it be that the AUD and SBD were tracked separately as long rumored, so that they could be resynced?) or it's a Pearson master. Only Charlie knows, if anyone! Regardless, thanks for the upgrade. It sounds great.



The Neville Bros band members performing were:



Art Neville - played on Brent's keyboards and sang a verse of Iko, plus backing vocals

Aaron Neville - vocals (particularly evident on Knockin') and hand percussion (cowbell?)

Cyril Neville - drums/percussion, backing vocals, I think that's his lead vocal on Day-O

Bryan Stoltz - guitar



The above per my relatively sober memory as correlated by the 2nd photo from jtseay below. - October 11, 2017great to hear it after all this time

http://www.dead.net/fanphotos/1987-07-06-pittsburgh-civic-arena-pittsburgh-pa Fun show! It was a great break from the overblown, hot as hell stadium shows that summer. Pittsburgh and Roanoke right after were really 87 summer highlights for me.Here are some pictures of this show that I took. - August 3, 2017Pictures of 1987-07-06

Subject: Engineering masterpiece? Well, maybe not... We always hoped they would roll the roof back when they played here, but had to settle for it being symbolically blown off. A great seedy place to see shows. Created the perfect Dead environment. This particular night there was supposed to be reserved seating on the floor, but after careful review, we started at the front, & stacked up all the folding chairs & got on with it.

Long ass overnight haul to Roanoke that may have been slightly underestimated.

As for the music- Thanks for this huge upgrade CM!

Just listen to the crowd (plenty of it on this Ultramix). Takes a good bit of Stranger to get the sound dialed in, but pretty good after that. A very nice show. Enjoy. We did. - July 18, 2017Engineering masterpiece?
