I’ve taken a strong week off from listening to the Dead. It’s not much, but it became necessary for me to hear the music again. I never saw the band live, never felt that chase so many have. and, while I miss that integral part of the experience, I do have these tapes that serve as purposeful reminders (tokens) that curate so excellently what it was like to be there, watching my favorite band (that I was born too late to see) play brilliantly on days like this one. Thanks to Rango for taping this show for me, and to Charlie MIller, for whatever he does. I’m off to laugh, and smile in the sunshine.

edit; after the first couple of songs, I'm back to say that the music is for one - incredible - and two, the tape itself is beyond psychedelic. It actually does feel like I am right there listening with you Rango...Well done!!! * Nick

Subject: a classic 83' show to say the least

This show, I've heard 100s of times since 84, this Aud captures it dare I say better then the great SBD available! The show itself, best 83 eye's and the whole show is solid.

Highly recommended, there are better 83 shows but as a whole this show this is just about perfect.

Was there for this show and just remember the fans & the Grateful Dead we’re having fun and enjoying the collective musical experience.
BTW excellent audience tape.

Primo!

Subject: Wonderful Day at the Greek

Perfect sound and perfect afternoon at the Greek Theatre. The China Cat is awesome with Bobby fixing his guitar during the intro where is section normally is...the crowd loves it. The Estimated is hypnotic and powerful with ample power chords....the Eyes is timeless and beyond category (for 1983? I know its hard to believe but it is true) and drums and space are awesome.

Subject: Amazing show!

The recording quality of this show is, simply put, the BEST AUD I have ever heard. I don't think I can truly express how wonderful this recording is. Then you have the music...which is stellar as well. The boys are obviously having fun and playing at their best. The Drums section is good for some laughs which I know is kind of weird to say, but listen and you'll understand what I mean.

Thanks to the Grateful Dead Listening Guide for pointing me to this show!!!

Awesome show, with truly outstanding sound quality on this recording. First set highlights include Rooster, Birdsong and Let it Grow. The pre-drums part of the second set is amazing, including a great China>Rider and a killer Eyes!
