Sounds like Jerry's teaching Brent how to be in a band like the Dead... Jerry is pushing the limits on open space in all these fall shows! don't know if its true, but seems like these are all "longest versions" of many of my favorite jammy tunes. I like listening to it in my jammies... Yeah... what the... No, not on drugs right now... just too many in that foggy past! Great stretches on this tour, I find myself returning again and again... have you guys seen my lighter?

"all smacked" up..what a complete idiot...these kids who never saw the Dead and know nothing, they just listen to recordings. Ignore all of them. They are very stupid.

I was at this show and 15 others in 1979 they were al great. especially the fall shows. check this out and the next night also which has a great Scarlet>Fire.

not great.

Definitely a good show. Jerry's voice is pretty shaky at times and his playing is off on occasion. Maybe he's a little too smacked up, I dunno. It's still a solid show with good energy.

"Between a frog?"

If you don't follow Weir's weird joke then listen to the first 7 songs and maybe, like me, you'll figure it out. If you do, please tell me.

The playing is off and on, and, at times, rather loosey goosey. It seems as if the band was distracted -- and maybe they were. They kept pleading with the audience to move back. The stage mashers were not only crushing one another but their gyrations were pulling plugs and you can definitely hear instances when the audience down in front was stepping upon and disturbing the electrical connections. It's hard for me to picture this venue, but why were electrical cables so close to the stage and so vulnerable?

Nonetheless, this remaster of a somewhat over-driven SBD interspersed with some AUD patches, is a delightful piece of work. As a result of Ashley's considerable expenditure of time and sweat the sound is remarkably clean and frank.

Finally, finishing set one with Sailor>Saint the band is riding in tandem and the whole affair starts to resound.

Perhaps, during the break, atmospheric conditions changed within the hall and when the band re-staged whoever it was mixing sound was so preoccupied with re-adjusting front of house levels that they forgot to check the levels of the cassette recorder upon which this show was taped. Hence, the bass and kick are just way too much for the strict audiophile. Picture the needles on the VU meter flooding right into the red. But, for we amateurs, it sounds pretty good -- especially if you just, pardon me for saying, use EQ on your playback system.

The entire second set is inspired utterance. Shakedown is juicy and spicy so much so that it leaves you licking your chops for more and despite inherent audio problems the band does not let you down. The AUD splice on the last portion of the set is unfortunate but not too much of an abrupt departure -- just turn up the volume on your system and you'll weather it intact.

Thanks Jay Ashley for another wonderful offering and thank you Archives for allowing Jay to present his remasters.

This show doesn't really merit a 5 star rating because of it's sloppy and dispirited performing in the first set but I am awarding it 5 because of its overall merit. -- And it just sounds sooo
good!

I thought it sounded grate from start to finish. I feel honored to be the first one to review this fine gem of a show!!
