16964 This is a pretty routine show for 1974, kind of like they were taking a break or something. It's a solid show, but not as groundbreaking as say 6/26 or even 8/4, or 8/6. What is interesting is how they touch on Nobody's Fault and Your Mind Has Left Your Body in quick succession during the Truckin' jam. You can hear that they're getting good at this type of jamming, almost too good. They didn't play very many shows in 74, and they may have been getting just the tiniest bit bored at times. Still a good show from a young G.D. Great AUD by Bertrando, of course. Worth a listen. You can really hear how Seastones was so much louder on the P.A. than when they were just playing their set, it's kind of funny. Must have been mind-blowing in person, if not ear-splitting. Decent but not great show from 74 J. Jonah Jameson 2004-07-17 20:32:50 2004-07-17 20:32:50 4 24910 This is one of the best aud recordings i have ever heard....especially from the pre-digital era. Not too much crowd noise but lots of DEAD! Even the bass comes in clear which is rare for audience recordings from this era! Not usually a big fan of early 70's aud's, but this one is sick sick sick! sweet aud BLUBALL 2004-11-13 17:40:06 2004-11-13 17:40:06 5 41124 Ignore that dude below that says the Dead are bored at this show, for real. the Playin>WR>Truckin (small cut)>Playin is every bit as sick as it looks, and the sound here is quite listenable!! summer at the hollywood bowl in 74..... makes my mouth water!!! Seriously..the Playin is SOOO on point!! The Nobody's Fault jam is about 15 seconds long, also, FYI.....

Some funny banter around the taper ("hey where's the roach clip"?), but nothing too distracting. Everyone quiets down when the jams start in earnest. Scarlet ends with a faded-out cut while they're still hard at it which is a little painful. Maybe not the best show of the summer, but certainly worth a listen.

I think this recording gives an idea of the Wall of Sound sound that the SBDs can't touch. The best AUD I have found is Frost '82. Check that one out.

One of Gans' favorite. 1st SIRIUS Show Perrinswolf 2007-08-29 22:07:22 2007-08-29 22:07:22 4 but they (SIRIUS) also said that there was only one copy of it in circulation and could not be found. But still a badass show. Hey not trying to be a douche..... ErrandWoolfe 2007-09-16 20:01:20 2007-09-16 20:01:20 5 The China Rider is a typical 74, though perhaps a bit faster than most. The Playin' sequence is the STUFF!! Someone already mentioned the segue into Wharf Rat, but how about the segue from Nobody's Fault back into Playin'? Outside of a nasty patch in Truckin' (~ 20-30 sec speedy and muffled), the sound quality is A1, the overwhelming volume and clarity of the Wall of Sound allowing for an excellent aud.
