Yes, this is a powerhouse 1985 show! I was there tripping balls, about 20 heads back on this glorious Saturday down at the beach, dancing in the dirt. (Anyone remember the dancing nurses - in old fashioned white starched uniforms - winding their way through the crowd?). Super high energy from stem to stern - the boys were on! Scorching OMSN and Fire to kick things off - Bird Song and MNS to close out the first set - simply divine! Epic Terrapin. Sweet Wheel! The Other One part one! I could go on and on... It’s ALL so good!(Meanwhile Live Aid was happening in Philly, which I recall being played during intermission). And all this happened during the afternoon in the light of day with the wind whipping off the ocean. We then somehow made it back to Santa Barbara for an endless night of shenanigans. Oh to live this weekend again. But that can’t happen, so tapping into this Charlie Miller mix is the next best thing. Thank you Charlie, and long live the Archive!

Of course,I was there! Thannk you Charlie Miller for helping me relive my past in such quality>#dontletgo

This has got some great stuff... End of first set and start of second set = truly magical. Great playing by all and Jerry's guitar has a nice deep rich sound to it that is awesome.

Thanks again Charlie Miller, you are the man!

Excellent performance/sound quality. Yeah, C Miller rules!

Just seeing Charlie Miller's name on this fantastically played show is satysfying. I worship him.

There are no really good AUDs of this show, so I'm rating this characteristically awesome Scotton/Walker/Miller SBD instead. I think the best AUD of this show is the Suraci, as per usual for this tour.

The set list is amazing. Despite what you might think before you hear it, though, the first is the better of the two sets, with the highlights being the opening Saturday Night/Fire, another very heavy Walkin' as good as the one they played a few nights before, and Big River. In the second set, we have yet another sloppy and shoddy Cryptical (what is the point of awesome breakouts if they sound like crap?), and this would be mitigated by a stellar Other One...but then, even though they set it up for a Cryptical reprise, THEY DON'T PLAY IT. Instead, Garcia breaks the rhythm with a slightly substandard Comes A Time. Not cool. But the encore rocks. Overall, a good show that could have been so much better.

Awesome sounding board! This isn't heavy on the keys or vocals like so many eighties boards are. Cymbals sound great. No swishy swashy. Bass is all there to boot. Opinions abound as far as song selection and performance, so my reviews are only of the recording quality.

I've never seen a stupider statement than that the reviews are for recording quality not the show. If the show sucked and the recording was good it gets a five?

This is why it was beyond annoying to sit next to people like Longstrange at shows, who would be singing along in your ear louder than the music and bathing once a tour.
