Thirty years ago today…this is one of the better five man shows. As the other posters say, Berry is great in this one. So are the other four musicans.
Still I think of Brother Berry before anybody else when it comes to this show. His talent as a bass player is undeniable. Words don’t cut it though, listening does.
Most likely this is a good reflection of the set they played at Mar Y Sol a couple of nights earlier.
We drove over from Troy, NY to see the show. We sat in the dirt (Recall Berry talking about a dirt track race after the show!) at the field house next to the soundboard. I saw the reel-to-reel recording the show. Tony Yoken worked for WA

The following is a link to a pay wall site with an article about this concert. I paid $5 for a one-day pass to access it. Enjoyed the article and loved seeing photos from the concert of Berry and Dickey:
