notes:

all instrumental show with lots of spacey improvisation 

wonderful sound and jamming!!!


As Matt puts it:
"It's clearly a Matrix tape and you can tell from the separation of the instruments 
and it has the same type of mix of all other Matrix reels I've done.  Since Garcia 
would show up at the 'Thursday night Jam' numerous times, this could be from 
late 1970 but since Merle is here it's most likely early, mid '71. There is static in the left channel but goes away and the overall dynamics are fantastic!! It's like 
you're sitting right in front of them!! As an aside Kafer's reels were destroyed in 
his parent's attic so Will's stuff is most likely the best and cleanest surviving 
analog copies.
