Journalist "Gets It"

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinal also reviewed some of the music at Alpine:

At various points in the band's extended improvisation, the music literally seemed to be speaking for itself. There was a sensual interweave to their playing that suggested a musical conversation of sorts. The drums, for instance, answered a question that the rhapsodic guitar figures appeared to be asking while the punchy punctuation of the bass started an entirely different conversation altogether. As with so many Dead-related shows, the resulting web of sound became a thing hovering over the crowd, an ever-morphing organic entity that practically solicited you to reach out and touch it. Psychedelic hooha though this all may seem, it doesn't take much to actually experience the sensations in a live setting. An active ear is all that's needed to interlock with the band's sonic constellations.
