My only tape
Had to drop a comment...I discovered my only/last remaining GD tape--set 2 of this concert. For 30+ years this was mis-dated June 2, not June 28 and stowed in a box.
Great to listen to again after many years!
The show sounds pretty good to me--nothing wrong with mid-80s Dead.

The Dead's final Hershey performance
I remember this concert well. It might have been their 1st Hershey concert , but I know it was their last! The rain was pouring down and there were no tickets to be found. The Hershey security guards were brutal ! During the 2nd set, Deadheads were trying to climb under chain link fences to see their heroes, getting 1/2 way under before being physically ripped back out from under and arrested. We also were knocked out of the trees that we climbed to get a concert view. We were subjected to non provoked beatdowns with their billy clubs. The concert sounded great, of course, but the violence of concert security went against all that the Dead stood for. I am certain that the band was informed of this and would never return to this venue ! Our loss, because the rain couldn't put a damper on the occasion but the senseless aggression did !

One of the best
Jerry was not at his best, but I don't care what what anyone says, his guitar playing was stellar.

Just Fun!
I enjoyed the entire show. People hate on 80's Dead and I understand their arguments, but come on! This show put a smile on my face. Jerry vocally because of the health complications is lacking but that adds a layer of reality. Not every show can be 77. I even enjoy the cheesy "Keep your Day Job" despite the vocal miscues. And what a venue for a show. Keep your mind open and good things will come in.

liquid light
i'll put my vote in for the braveman sbd as the best here; clean and clear.............there was a spinning, circular platform that you walked across to get to the chocolate world ride. we sat on the steps and watched as many heads tried, with varying degrees of success, to make it to the rail-cars. during down in the bob'em/ i ain't uberlicious lots of folks didn't catch the groove but stumbled around a bit, confused, looking to each other for something that had started rolling in during the ramble on rose. the incessant universal solvent was sloppily and rapidly erasing boundaries and deeply felt waves were rising over and through...

"while we resume our, uh..um, uh, singin' in the rain..."
i've heard/read where some people say this show is overrated?
that's crazy talk.
just a really bizarre first set.. and let's face it, Jerry was on the verge of death at this point... he labored vocally through Ramble On Rose (and had a brain lapse for an entire verse in Terrapin) but he reached deep down on the Birdsong>Comes A Time>Deal trifecta and one of the best-ever Morning Dew's.
the band was stellar in spite of any technical problems, the rain or any vocal strain, carrying Jerry [vocally] through much of the second set.
it poured rain pretty much the entire night.
tripped out Healy sound attack>Music Never Stopped (with the finest jam this song has ever produced), Phil belts out Tom Thumb's Blues, the Estimated>Terrapin segue jam is just surreal.
one of the finest all-around musical moments during an up and down year.
Phil blows out a bass speaker during Dew, there's just so much going on during this night, crazy fiendish energy.
one of the Top 3 shows of the 1980s.
and this Braverman SBD is a must-have.
will someone pls seed this?
