I don't know much about NRPS. Along with Garcia-Wales, they are the Jerry side-project that I listen to almost never. I wanted that to change so lately I've been getting some NRPS shows with Garcia (plus one or two without Jerry.) My first listen in years is this nice Soundboard from a non-opening-for-the-Grateful Dead show back in San Francisco shortly after the Dead's run of shows on Long Island in New York. From those we have the Relix Records release Vintage NRPS.
Each of these tunes I'm really digging but All I Ever Wanted, in particular, has me captivated. I also really like their take on Creedence Clearwater Revival's Lodi. Another one that smokes is Portland Woman with some solid solos in there. Unfortunately the recording isn't crystal clear otherwise LaFlamme's violin would be playing a bigger part in some of the songs such as Portland Woman and Glendale Train, as well. At times he seems to be lost in the background which is a shame. But overall this is a pretty nice recording and it's been a great listen.
