and the purple gel tabs...I was 17 and bought a tye dye on the back fence of the show that looked like a colored hole into another universe with a turtle in the middle. It spoke to me!! I have seen pix of Jerry at this time and he appeared to have an unusaul green hue to his skin tone. Glad he mafe it for many more years. I stood at the top of the stairs on the bleachers and felt like it was an escalator. Fun times for a dancing fool teenager in the sping sunshine cali style...

wow, lots of energy on this one. No jerry tunes after space could mean you-know-what, but I love tempo at this gig. Those who dig the 84's should try the Maine and hartford shows in Oct. Probably the best of the year(my opinion only)

Theyre just playing WARP SPEED. 7/21 is similar. A word of caution on the Minglewood Phil is SUPER SICK!! China>Rider is pure technical excellence. 1984 or STFU!!

Must Listen

1984 or STFU!!

Subject: Its not speeded up they are just stoked
From start to finish this is more of a rowdy Centrum or Garden show - Cut Stranger wails and TLEO is perfect compliment Bird Song, Mwood in fact the entire first set sizzles. I dont think I have ever been to show that opened a Set II with China > Rider that was not memorable and this is one of the best of the eighties no exaggeration. Lastly for anyone that listened to the drums when they were using this vibraphone and bouncing the sounds all over the inside of the arena it was impossible to describe how cool it was. Unreal show.

Subject: It's definitely speeded up
its definitely speeded up. I checked it against my keyboard. But not much, at least not as much as it sounds on China Cat - Rider. Its also played faster than usual. Outstanding playing by Jerry, esp. by 1984 standards.

these boards are tight. The show almost sounds sped up........ but their just jammin.

I am really finding a whole new world in 84 shows. They were sparingly circulated in years past, but thanks to lama, gems are arising.

check out 4-7-84, 4-20-84

peace

I wasn't expecting much when I downloaded this one. The live experience was nothing to write home about. Cal Expo is a great venue, but the daytime shows there during the heat of the day could be so overwhelmingly hot, temperature-wise, that it was hard to appreciate anything except the outdoor showers set up behind the bleachers. And Garcia looked about as bad as he ever did around this time. During this show a friend of mine who had never seen them before asked if they put makeup on his arms to make them look blue.

But on these crisp SBD transfers, you would never know how strung out he was. His playing sparkles on most songs, but is especially vibrant on 'Birdsong', 'China-Rider' and 'He's Gone'. The jam out of 'He's Gone' has the instrumental break that was so often missing during the 80's. It's far from a perfect show, of course. Brent puts a damper on things with the tedious 'Don't Need Love', and Jerry sort of packed it in after the drums. But to my surprise, this show really stands out for the playing. If you like '84, this is a good one to sample.

This is an explosive show from an up and down early summer run. The soundboard is well balanced and shows Lesh in a great mood as he plunders through Sacramento cow pastures. The TLEO is the best version of all time. Lesh and Garcia are playing off each other in a radioactive fashion that could lift skulls to never, never land. Garica's solo is creative and goes on forever. The second set is equally hot, with a China>Rider that shows the the subtle interplay between Lesh and Brent as they scorch and sear the Expo. Dont Need Love is a great pre-drums song and this one features some great "ace" guitar licks as Jerry takes a breather....the preceding jam out of He's Gone is bubbly and features several different themes. Some great pictures from this show are available on Currio's website... //www.markcurriestudios.com/html/dead/shows/1984/frameset5/index.html
