some Santa Cruz JGB ... 25 Years Ago

Some sweet tunes for a Tuesday morning. No wait, it's Wednesday now, right? Yes, yesterday was the Super Tuesday 2 ... gettin' closer to havin' 1 Dem to face off with 1 Repub. Crap, man, we need another good school shooting or something so all this political junk won't be practically nonstop in the news every freakin' day. Maybe a bridge collapse or major plane crash ... something! Gruesome thought, huh? Yeah, just really sick and tired of seeing millions upon millions of dollars being spent to elect a new President. How self-centered is that?! Imagine, what Obama and Hillary and McCain $pent on their election$, and the million$ $pent on the failed bids to become the candidate, if all that was spent on charitable causes that actually helped people in dire situations... hmmmm... What a Wonderful World this could be. Well, at least a bit nicer than it is now. Instead we've got multi-million dollar two-year long campaigns to pick two people for President. Something just isn't right about that.

Oh well, in any case...
at least there's good music to play to take one's mind off it all...

Jerry Garcia Band March 5, 1983 Santa Cruz Civic Auditorium Santa Cruz, California

1st Set:	How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You), Catfish John,
	That's What Love Will Make You Do, Valerie-»
	Run For The Roses
2nd Set:	Mission In The Rain, The Harder They Come,
	The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down,
	Dear Prudence-» Tangled Up In Blue

Nice show. This is a pretty fairly standard setlist and there's not much here that's incredibly spectacular... but the band is tight and the playin' is sweet. The fact that this is a soundboard makes it definitely worth listening to.

Quality: there's a splice in Tangled that kind of hurts
but otherwise it's a nice recording;
not quite A+ ... but a good solid A, or at worst A-
