Featroller Review, Deadly Windbag Edition:

Yet another classic from archive.org, featuring an almost unbeatable dynamic duo of guests. Robert Randolph
plays what sounds like wicked slide guitar, but is actually a pedal steel. Rolling Stone lists him as one
of the top 100 guitarists of all time, so hey, the dude is no slouch. His sound is a little like an amped-
up Sonny Landreth playing with a whammy bar... nah, that doesn't do him justice. Even a man of as many words
as me can't find the verbiage to describe this guy. Paul knows, saying as he introduces Randolph "playing slide with
this man is a whole lotta fun!" Indeed. He plays so fast at times that it's hard to believe he's doing it all
with a slide. He and Paul play with but not over each other, and their tones are so different it's easy to
keep track of who's who. It's an awesome performance.

After a typically smoking Spanish Moon > Skin It Back > Dog Races and Shaun doing her thing on Cadillac
Hotel, out comes Bob Weir. Lucky folks in Telluride! After a brief delay while they get a guitar tuned for
Bob, they launch into Easy To Slip. Bob's band Ratdog has been covering it for years. Maybe because it
is so spontaneous, Bob's guitar and vocal are a little low in the mix. He sings a verse of I Know You Rider,
just as he did with the Dead, and the magic kicks in. By the time they get to Dixie Chicken they've got his
guitar turned up. For those of us who've listened to a lot of Dead over the years, it's almost eerie to hear
Bob's signature harmonic chords over the top of Paul & Fred. Has there ever been a more interesting rhythm
guitarist? Add him to the unique feat-beat and it really is what a commentor posted on the 8/31/02 upload:
"I've got Feat in my feet and Dead in my head."

The best part is a jam featuring Bob where Billy's solo usually is, followed by Tennessee Jed. Even if you
are no Deadhead, you've got to hear this for its sheer musicianship. There's a lot going on, and each time
you listen you may hear something new. The sound quality is excellent throughout. Even with the missing
opener Honest Man and the time constraints of a festival gig, this is a unique and terrific show.
