This version of The Weight is one of the best available. The sound quality is pretty good as well and I would recommend getting this one. NRPS with Uncle Jerry!

Or did this come from a vinyl pressing of some sort? Sometimes the clipping sounds just like vinyl. I'm guessing it's clipping. Strange that it's the only place on the entire recording to exhibit this phenomenon. Perhaps the track was edited seperately from the rest of the tracks. Still WAY worth the download.

The recording quality is excellent compared to many shows this old; this is a very enjoyable set. Well worth the download. The version of 'The Weight' is interesting as well as Jerry's slidework. Very muchso outstanding. Damn good show. eighteenyearoldmaleinamerica 2006-02-27 06:58:05 2006-02-27 06:58:05 5 67587 This is really a great recording. Would give it a 5 but that is reserved for historical performances (Hendrix at Woodstock, Dylan at Newport...you get the idea) The sound quality here is amazing considering it is 1971. The separation is noticable. Marmaduke is in great voice. Dryden's drumming is danged near perfect. Garcia seems so fresh and unencumbered by his Dead persona (which is something, considering he took the stage with them mere minutes later). It is just a joy to listen to. Fine, fine American Music. Highlights: Workingman's Blues, Fair Chance to Know, Glendale Train...but hell, its all real good. Download Now!

IT USED TO BE AVAILABLE ALONG WITH THE GRATEFUL DEAD'S SHOW OF THE SAME DATE, BEFORE THE HAMMER CAME DOWN. OH WELL MAYBE SOME DAY!

It doesn't get any better eephour 2008-02-14 10:55:49 2008-02-14 10:55:49 5 This is one of my favorite concert recordings. This is what good music is all about. It makes you feel good, it's entertaining, and can take you places, if you really listen. Simply Amazing ericneifert 2008-05-02 07:54:16 2008-05-02 07:54:16 5 I downloaded most of The New Riders concerts from these archives - put them on mp3 player in my car and this one just knocked me out. The sound is magnificent and you can hear the separation in the speakers. Jerry on pedal steel is absolute heaven to me. Just loved Down In The Boondocks. All this for free! Highly recommended as it does not get any better than this in my book. Outstanding! spiritofbluegrass 2009-02-05 13:24:40 2009-02-05 13:24:40 5 This is a real treat and very nicely recorded too. I prefer the New Riders with Jerry on pedal steel. Absolutely perfect. A lovely show Morticia 2009-08-08 20:23:23 2009-08-08 20:23:23 5 Wonderful performance. I don't particularly care much for David's take on the Weight or Honkey Tonk Women though. Stellar recording. I downloaded this two or maybe even four years ago and I keep coming back to it. 4-28-71 BIG_R 2009-10-08 18:23:11 2009-10-06 21:24:45 4 11 4.64
