4.0 out of 5 stars less energetic, yet beautiful performance, July 16, 2000

By 

Ryan Thiel - See all my reviews

This review is from: Dick's Picks, Vol. 9: Madison Square Garden, New York, NY, 9/16/90 (Audio CD)

As Grateful Dead fans know, the Dead's shows during the nineties tended to be less energetic, and more melloncolic than their earlier years. The shows tended to reflect Jerry's condition sometimes to the detriment of the show, and sometimes it sounded so sweet it could bring you to tears. This show is no exception. "Cassidy" is an energetic song which has seen much better performances (see: acoustic version from Reckoning). However, Hornsby is able to pick things up with riffs during "Tennessee Jed" and "Samson and Delilah." My favorite moment comes in the third cd with an immaculate and heart felt version of "Standing On The Moon." This is not their best, but more than worth the money for true Dead fans who can't get enough of the Dead's live stuff.

4.0 out of 5 stars beautiful and powerful..., September 16, 2002

Having read the negative reviews posted regarding this show, I just had to chime in with my take. This is a show which truly rewards repeated and careful listening...the tasty blues interplay on Little Red Rooster, Jerry and Bruce having fun all over the place, and, I don't care what you nay-sayers think, a beautiful and powerful second set. Morning Dew gave me chills the other day and the jam after He's Gone is wonderfully magic. Granted there are some weak spots, but that's all part of this show's charm. Sit down on a cool and windy fall day and enjoy this one!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars The Band Cooks, October 5, 2000

Okay, I bought this thing because I wanted one w/ Hornsby on it, in spite of the reviews. The reviews above were correct in their details but wrong in their conclusion. Yes Welnick often-plays harsh sonic textures - but they are cool sounding. Yes, we could use more of Bruce - but he helps the band rock. The comment that real story on this CD is Phil Lesh - is on target. The Dead play not that tight - yes. But, the CD rocks all over the place. The first set cooks, the mix is great - the drums are sooo clear and the band just grooves. I gotta recommend it - its great. For a tight Hornsby show try DP18.
