review: [positive] Rain 1976
review: [positive] Krane 1976. Review subtitle "Fabulous Crowd Pleasers", reads "mellifluous (me-lif-loo-es, adj. (L. /mellifluus: mel, mellis-honey, fluete-to flow), flowing sweetly and smoothly; honeyed; said of words, sounds, etc. … Jerry Garcia has always liked this town, Davis". Lots of Bay Area kids at UC Davis. Kane talks about driving I-80 to and from Jerry Band shows, how nice to have them on campus - sounds like he liked JGB. gave a "memorable performance" to his loyal fans. Notes the JGB has played Crabshaw Corner in Sacto, not necessarily right before, but perhaps rerencing the known gigs of 1975-1976. Freeborn usually sounds like ass, but the reviewer says the band's gear sounded great." Kane praises "Garcia's magnificently mellow, fluid [playing] ... Never before have I seen Garcia dance, nor have I ever seen him smile so much. But he had a lot to smile about, and so did a crowded Freeborn." "He appeared very warm and comfortable. His music was doubly so." Kane mentions the Travis Bean, and I think Keith's grand piano. The review becomes illegible for most of the fourth and fifth columns.
