From the rare "Samson" opener and the unusually long and jammed out "Playing in the Band" from the May 26th show, to the bone-rattling "Shakedown Street" on the 27th, these shows are exciting and action-packed.
The two-disc set offers 19 solid tracks from these justifiably famous performances, spanning the Dead's repertoire from the '60s ("The Same Thing") to the '90s ("Liberty"). All selections are previously unissued, and as always, engineer Jeffrey Norman has made sure the sonic specs are superior and presented in crystal clear HDCD.
The Bonus Disc offers more killer tunes from these fine shows, including Phil's tender and emotional "Broken Arrow" from the 26th, and the unique sequence of "Cassidy> Uncle John's Band> Cassidy" from the 27th, something they'd never attempted before and never played again!
