Donna's fine! I really admire how they hired her as a vocalist,in an effort to experiment furthur.

Donna is awful, never should have been a member.
-
I like Donna

I think Jerry was in the house - you can hear his echo-ey voice - it is just not apparently plugged into the soundboard feed that this audio was mastered from.
But awesome job whoever is doing the video/audio mastering - this is some golden material to stumble on randomly on youtube. Thanks @SBDMusic!!

i like donna

Either the sound is awful or this was not the Dead's best night.

@sirfev Any of the keith/donna years pretty much rocked though 78 is right up there in maybe the the 2, 3 best years of the entire 30 year pantheon. However I would submit that even though they only played 4 shows , 75 is the absolute best year ever

I have over 400 tapes god knows how many hours and yet I am about to watch an entire concert that is one tape I do not have on YouTube of all things. God love technology and god bless the Grateful Dead

be easy guys...donnas just adding a female flare...you cant judge it unless you were there at this specific show...the energy at the actual show is profound when trying to capture the essence of a performance



yea...hearing Donna wailout is painful sometimes...she just should have tried to slip in as a back up singer but she took charge with those pipes...Weir and Jerry's voice didn't stand a chance when she "caterwauled"....good word, Jack...
anyway...if I went to see the Dead and Jerry's mic went out on this song and I had to listen to Donna I would not be happy....especially not on DIre Wolf...this song was built for Jerry's twangy vocals...
