There may be better overall played shows from other nights at the Warfield and also their Radio City counterparts (don't forget the Saenger in NOLA), but my motivation here was the best versions of Althea and Jack Straw that I have heard, not to mention an excellent Scarlet>Fire. The Jack-a-roe is the version on Dead Reckoning (aka For The Faithful), and the quality of the acoustic set SBD is very crisp, probably close to the multi-tracks. The electric SBD is not as nice, but when coupled with the AUD, the show really comes to life. The electric SBD is also plagued by many holes, the worst being that there is no SBD for most of Truckin' and then through the rest of the show. All things equal, Althea, Jack Straw, Scarlet > Fire are completely sick, and worth the matrixed effort, not to mention it was fun doing an acoustic set too - the audience element is cool; and even though it's a balcony recording, the Warfield is small enough that the intimacy is still present and desirable. http://bt.etree.org/details.php?id=21125
