Undeniably Great
I hate to quibble but “below average” and “nothing special”? This show? Come on now, don’t mislead future visitors to this great stream. Let there be no confusion: this is an absolute gem, through and through. So many highlights, but hard not to start with “the” Shakedown of all Shakedowns. From Bob’s haunting intro notes to Jerry’s razor sharp lines and trading of licks with Brent, its an improvised masterpiece. And for those who complain that 1981 lacked jamming, just listen to the strong Spanish jam that evolves following Sailor->Saint, and the full-throated Nobody’s Fault out of Truckin’. But don’t stop there. The gorgeous Stella is an all-timer too, with unique and searing Jerry leads. Even standbys like GDTR and Saturday Night are brimming with energy. The sparkling UJB encore is a perfect capper to this special night. So sit back and enjoy one of the 80’s best, period, full stop.

Not Bad
More like a 3 1/2 star show. I don't know if I'd hoped they would repeat the magic of their performance here in 77. The performances were a bit hit and miss and unfortunately Jerry especially seemed to have lost some energy over the set break. Excellent late-era Spanish Jam though. Overall a pretty decent show.

Mr. Seamons is a Gentleman and a Scholar
They just keep getting better and better kind sir and I will once again thank you from the bottom of my heart. The first set of this show was one of my first cassettes and I've always loved this show dearly. Wise's quality aud satisfied me quite well and actually the sbd paled (too claustrophobic imo) but this indeed is a fine marriage of the two.
The show smokes through and through and frankly i listen to it far more than that little known Barton Hall show from 77, flame away.
See the other sources for show reviews and star ratings this review/rating is mainly for Mr. Seamons work.

Great recording, great show
I was on this whole tour, this was definitely one of the best shows. Just re-lived it in it's entirety thanks to the archive, and this is a great recording.

You can't improve perfection...
The
sbd.miller.30647.sbeok.flac16 remaster of this excellent performance is virtually perfect. Adding crowd noise to a pristine soundboard recording is like putting ice cubes into a glass of Montrachet...
