    Not to speak ill of the Dead, but there are a bunch of really tricky vocal parts and harmonies they imposed on themselves but could only rarely pull off outside the studio or live after around '72.

    Every time something like "Box of Rain" or "Weather Report Suite" kicks in on a live recording, my heart melts and my ears cringe. (I'm also looking at you, live vocals on "Here Comes Sunshine.")

    Was there ever a near-perfect live "Attics of My Life"? I've never heard one. Thank god we'll always have American Beauty.

    Exactly, that's the number one problem with all of them. And half the time it's like they can't even figure out who is soloing, even if one guitar is playing way down in open position and the other one is playing above the octave, holding the guitar behind his neck, with the guitar on fire, standing on his head...

    By the time I'm finished with this, I kinda forgot about the 17 minute Lovelight which opened the night. What a show.

    Okay, here's a question I posed a very long time ago... Strangest venue you can think of: For me it's probably Jai Alai Fronton in Miami '74.

    Or the Alaska shows, which I believe were in a high school auditorium - in 1980

    74-06-22 Jai Alai Fronton. Garcia's solo on Greatest story ever told is excellent. Phil's playing too!
    And check out Garcia's singing on Deal.

    Is that the show with the overly prominent kick drum in the mix?

    Drums are prominent in the mix. I don't find the kick overly prominent.

    This brings to mind the Yessongs film where, as I recall, during a particularly busy part of Clap, the screen shows Steve Howe’s feet tapping.

    More generally, it seemed like a lot of directors of TV shows on which groups appeared during the sixties (and later too of course) couldn’t distinguish between guitars so you get the camera zooming in on the bass or rhythm guitarist during a guitar solo.

    Do the bridge or skyline in the background reference Binghamton?
