An EBR Recording

Yet another excellent audience recording.  Music and vocals both shine through with next to no crowd distraction whatsoever.  Just fantastic!  My gripe: old Bob is keeping basically the same setlist all tour which to me is boring.  People probably wouldn't have seen the Grateful Dead 500 times if they played the same setlist every tour.  U2 adds a few different songs in from the previous night.  So does Springsteen.  Pearl Jam the same.  Bob used to.  But he's 75.  It's just easier for him nowadays, I guess.  The answer, my friend is: there just isn't a need to listen to every show of a tour anymore for those rare gems he might play.  Find one good quality recording and you're set.  Or two good ones as this is fairly identical to the one I posted  a couple weeks ago from this tour.  This one: about a 9.7 out of 10 for the highest A grade there is before A+.  Some people would even go ahead and give this an A+.  What's keeping me from?  Actually, I'm really tired right now as I type this and I'm not exactly sure what's keeping me from saying A+.  The honor of A+ for an aud is something that just has gotta really really be earned.  Maybe a little too much audience between songs here.  It's not bad at all, really not!  But a quieter audience and no one talking or coughing near the mics would get this to A+.  STILL this is EXCELLENT quality that anyone should be happy with.
