My Dad is a Deadhead, having seen the band live many, MANY times from his first show in '79 to his last in '95. This here is his 2nd Dead show ever, and, man, what a doozy!

I thank anyone who helped record this show, and get it on archive. I thank archive especially for allowing me to relive my Dad's Dead experience as closely as I can!

Luvverly stuff. He's Gone is so often a snoozer
for me, but this one sparkles and glints, moving
along at a far brisker pace than normal with
atypical bright tones.
Phil uses an unusually gruff, fat tone throughout
and Bob revels in his fine voicings (note how he repeats several lines over and over again in Rider, obviously pleased at his rendering)

A bit nostalgic about this one. I was a sophomore at Penn State and the school year was winding down. Finals were upon us and the Dead provided the perfect break. The crowd was definitely into it and it sure seemed like the band was too.

It was a solid show overall. The China/Rider is great albeit relatively short. Loved Peggy-O too.

KUDOS to the taper! It is an outstanding quality AUD. Rec Hall was an old college gym even then, 27+ years ago, but the sound on this recording is terrific.

It sounded like the band wanted to drift from He's Gone into the Drums but the crowd kept them going. The band stuck 'round for anOther one before the drums. This was a great week thru to and including Nassau.

Subject: Tight first set and very listenable set II
Good first set pretty typical of the arista years pretty tight but not as good as the shows a week or so later at nassau or hartford but good quality audience and sounded fun..... Good he's gone>other one overall '80 was not a year of superlatives however this does rate...
