Nice soundboard recording from a period in which there are very few. At some point this should be patched with the Corly aud tape, which could supply the missing ~90 seconds at the start of Think and the missing ~5 minutes at the end of Tangled Up In Blue.
Overall, this is a pretty workaday first set and a pretty nice second set. A first set comprised of six 5-6 minute songs, clocking in around 36 minutes total, feels pretty cursory. It provides a kind of hit-and-run tightness which is merely interesting. To be fair, the man was at death's door 14 weeks prior to this, and we know that he had to develop his chops and his stamina progressively. Third show out, he's not quite there yet. The second set strikes me as still very short (under an hour), but better than set I. I will forever lament the emergence of "That Lucky Old Sun" into the Garcia Band's repertoire, but it's their band and they get to play what they like, so I'll leave it at that.
setlist:
Public JGB debut of "And It Stoned Me"
Second public JGB performance of "Forever Young", after the Triumphant Return show (debuted on October 4, 1986).
Third public JGB performance of "Lucky Old Sun" (October 4 and 5, 1986).
