Pulling out all the stops for the college crowd.
The Dead rise to the occasion.
and these GATOR women start looking good.

Subject: bread crumb

first of all, by this point in time the tapers were doing amazing work. Their equipment was good and their technical understanding was good. The result? This tape is comparable to any board for quality, and better for ambience. Outstanding.

Second. Why is Don't Ease Me In a song that never excites me when I see it in a set list, but always makes be happy when I hear it?

Third. This is the ONLY time you'll hear Shakedown > Franklin's. I noted the oddity of St. of Circumstance > Franklin's a few nights earlier. Obviously Jerry was looking for a way to play it that made sense. I'm thinking shakedown wasn't quite it...

...I seriously doubt I would take it over Jim Wise's audience. Charlie Miller has done what only the most skilled and dedicated jewelers can do: take an existing gem and make it even more brilliant. A magical, exceptionally good night for The Boys.

Jim Wise's recording of this show is one of the finest audience tapes of Grateful Dead music ever made. Thank you, Jim.

I'm forever in his debt; this tape was one of the first 5 cassettes I received in 1982, when an older Head gave me the key by giving me my first tapes of live Grateful Dead. I've worn out many, many copies of this show numerous times over the past thirty years.

Still need more proof? Go read the 45 reviews from another source of this show, then come back and download this one.

Phil: I know you've been known to scour the Archive from time to time. If by some freak chance you ever read this, thanks for this night, especially your slides up and down the fretboard during the zenith of Space > The Other One. As a 14-year old kid listening to my first cassettes, I knew you were laying down some serious juju this night.

Subject: great recording! Great show!

I was lucky to be at this one and listening to this nearly perfect recording almost brought tears to my eyes. Listen to the shakedown> franklins if nothing else!

MAX -- WELL HOUSE! Percolation setting: Strong.

I also agree with Dr. Unclear's review and would add... that..

..this is an astonishingly, intensely beautiful recording and performance. This show merits 9 stars. Even the drum solos are hot.

Kudos again to all and to Archives.com

Subject: Master Cass transfer of an unbelievable AUD (and show!)

It's nice to finally see a master cass. transfer of this amazing recording. Seriously, why would you want a SBD with this in circ? Huge kudos to Mr. Wise and to Charlie Miller for the fresh transfer.
