::notes from Dan:: 
It was recorded on spacelands house mics straight through the soundboard. We stupidly only brought one CD so me missed the best La Novia I've ever seen or heard. 
One of the best, if not THE best gig I've ever seen in my life!!! Thinking back is makes the best dead show I've seen look like a joke, UNREAL guitar and just SICK SICK SICK JAMS!!! 

---------------
Despite the comparative note in the txt file, holding up this AMT set to the Grateful Dead would be unfair to both bands, especially since the Dead changed so much over their career. Aficionados of '72-74 Dead jams will probably be disappointed by the AMT jamming approach here, which instead feels more like the '66 Acid Tests. 

There are 2 contrasting styles in this set. Besides the "make some noise and see what happens" style of the more freeform tracks, other tracks lay down an extended, repetitive groove salted with a line of improv. The effect of the latter is trancy (which will translate to quite boring, depending on listener). 

While listening, I felt something missing: I got the impression that the at-show experience may well be pretty important for fully enjoying this band (I've not seen them live). Heh, that's probably just like it was at the original Acid Tests.
