Blair Jackson's review: **½
copyright: www.blairjackson.comm

 

I was tremendously disappointed by this electric counterpart to Reckoning when it came out. It consists mostly of unadventurous (and edited) versions of first-set tunes, though the band stretches out a bit on "Feel Like a Stranger," "Franklin's Tower" and "Fire on the Mountain." A double-album when it was released, it now fits on one-CD (minus "Space") and it flows much better as a show on CD. But considering what was available to the Dead from the Radio City and Warfield shows, this still feels overly safe and tame.
