  • review: [positive] Friedman 1975: Show opened with Sugaree, 80 min first set, ca. 2 hour second set. FOTD also in 1st set. 2nd set opened with LIR, later came LSTNT -> Edward.
  • review: [mixed] Anderson 1975. He opted to start the evening with Patti LaBelle at Kleinhans Music Hall – lots of energy in her show. He hopped over to the Century, and it seemed like "entering the world of Morpheus. The pace was heavily laid-back (consider 'The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down' at half-speed), with much tuning between songs. The music noodled lazily between Garcia's wistful syncopation and Nicky Hopkins' tinkly blues. … [at the end of the show] The weight of meditating with Garcia was such that it took several minutes for the nearly full house to shake it off and move to the doors after the lights went up". His review also indicates that LSTNT had happened before he arrived, so the big medley was not the end of the show, though there was no encore.
