05-06-1981 Nassau-- perhaps the most "known" show outside of Oops and New years of 81. Features the "This one's for Bobby Sands" He's Gone>Jam>Caution...but don't miss the rest of the show, nice first set...Dick's Picks Release
10-16-1981 Amsterdam Melk Weg Hash Bar--Weir's 34th Birthday played in a tiny hash bar...great acoustic first set...second set features Lovelight, Hully Gully breakouts...
12-31-1981--Oakland Coliseum--not the best new Years gig, not even in the top 3, but it's the longest and they basically play it all, minus St. Stephen...definitely check it out to say you did...
05-16-1981 Cornell-- Crisp recording of this show exists...great energy...Shakedown
12-30-1981--Oakland--One and a half set show...First "Set" features top shelf versions of Rooster and Cumberland...Dire Wolf and They Love Each Other are excellent and a red hot jam turn up in Supplication...
10-19-1981--Spain--Garcia is all over Let It Grow and Scarlet>Fire sears...Jerry is blazing his solos throughout this show...not super long jams, but to the point...
03-09-1981--...great first set...Bird Song...one of the best Altheas...China Rider...
05-01-1981--one of the best audience copies out there, the 80s equivalent to 08-06-71...great first set...very enjoyable show...not fireworks but definitely worth listening to as it gives you a great live sound...
08-28-1981--Long Beach--despite a flub, a top 5 version of Shakedown...Spanish jam

They have expanded the venue recently; in those days it was a *tiny* little amphitheater, a 1930's WPA job, and I came to understand later that this particular show had the benefit of being in a place where the authorities had no real clue about any controversy, so the scene was far more casual than I experienced in later years. The only show I ever saw that even compared, was "The Dead" in 2004 at St. Helens. No cops to be seen, barely even a security fence.
