We were told of the Max Creek show by someone while talking between sets at the Dead show and figured why not try it. At this time neither Tom nor I had heard Max Creek play. This was only the second set which they obviously delayed to get some post Deadshow audience in the door, then they played an almost two hour set, including several Dead tunes which they weaved into their original music in an extroardinary manner. Tasty musicianship and orchestration are on full display here by Max Creek's Murowski and Mercier. The Just A Rose, Mystery Train sequence shows their songwriting and jamming chops while the Blood Red Roses Jam segue into the Dead's Scarlet Begonias is way out there. Then they jam into Talking Head's Life During Wartime. That sequence aptly demonstrates their jamming and orchestrating combination. These guys had been a band for about 10 years at this point and already had a confidence in the art of jamming and stage presence often never acquired. Tom made sure his deck got patched out of the other taper there, and later I copied the cassette onto the one this 1st gen takeoff is from. Too bad we don't have the first set!
