April Fools '88

I'm enjoying these new discs, but it sure puts into perspective how incredible the Warlocks 24-track mix down sounds, as these have just left a few weeks of heavy rotation on my big system. 4/1/88 sound acceptable, if a bit shrill at times, while the Warlocks '89 sounds unbelievable.

That first 4 songs from 4/1/88 are just pure bliss; 1/2 Step->Jack Straw->Lay Me Down (wow!); Thin Man (2nd and last version; listening to this it boggles the mind that Weir dumped it).

The Knockin' from the 3/31 bonus material is fantastic, and the Watchtower is unique and bizarre, with Bobby halting things suddenly mid 1st verse with his signature, "Wait a minute!! Well, the business men they drink my wine..."

was at all of these...was when you could take your little walkman radio into show, patch into your D5 anywhere in the venue, dial into the FM frequency coming off the SB and get the sickest quality tapes ever...

I was there making lame Nak shotgun tapes in the section, working a ton harder to get tapes I would soon consider garbage. Ah, the irony.
