Just came over from gratefuldeadoftheday.com - love that website and love archive, making this gem and so many others available to us.

This was a real down home Sunday night show that was consistently pleasant. Tight and mellow would aptly describe this show.
Loved the Iko, Jack Straw, He's Gone and Brokedown.
From late October '79 through '81 Jerry was living large to good effect.

to come back later

The show begins with the acoustic GRATEFUL DEAD performing 9 songs. It's excellent, a "must have" acoustic set from Radio City.

I highly recommend adding the acoustic set from "Radio City" to your 1980 GRATEFUL DEAD collection.

New York City crowds were only second to the hometown crowds of San Francisco for energy, excitement and fun.

For those of you not familiar with the GRATEFUL DEAD before 1980, I highly recommend you expose yourselves to the April 71 shows at the Fillmore East and West. I also recommend listening to 1970-10-04 Winterland Arena.

The IA recommends the users of Windows XP should view this web-page with RealPlayer. RealPlayer is a free media player you can download at www.realplayer.com.

Eat, Drink, Be Merry and Listen to the GRATEFUL DEAD.

Thanks for the LOVE from 1980.

...is the one featured on Reckoning. Ive listened to all the acoustic sets and figured out all the dates for the Reckoning album so if anyone is interested ive posted them on the wikipedia page for the album. I almost have them all so they should all be there fairly soon

I have been looking for a good copy of this show for years. I was at the show and still remmeber it as one of the best shows I ever went to. It may have been the excitment of being at Radio City or the attitude of the crowd, ( everyone swaying in unison during He's Gone. I just have great memories of the show.

This is a pretty good show but the thing that struck out the most about it occurs at the end of Good Lovin'...it is a pretty good version, Bobby is totally into it and then right as the song is about to end he lets out this scream that is an exact replica of the infamous Howard Dean scream that cost him the election. If you don't have time to listen to the whole show, go to the end and just listen to GOod Lovin' and you'll know what I'm talking about :)

I don't know that there are enough words to describe how happy I am that this site exists at all. I get the feeling that there's a large percentage of folks who forget the days of Maxell II's and the cassette deck in general.

The Dead pioneered "accepted" bootlegging and we should all be extremely 'Grateful' they did. How many near perfect recordings of any other band from that era are so readily available? (climbing off of soapbox now...).

As for the show, an amazing set list and thanks to Mr.Hinko, et al for making it sound so cool!

All the shows were great, went to every one of them. I'll always remember the smiles on their faces, and never forget the way I felt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow, not my favorite song of all time, but this little red rooster HOWLS! One of the best versions I have ever heard, IKO also is a great kick off. Rock on dead.

Hey bwilliams, how about a tutorial on that stream the shows - download process, internet cache' etc. Exactly what is that process, step by step?

Great Brokedown. Soulful. One of the best.

Stream the show ...go to sleep ..wake up in the morning and drag and drop from your internet cache'..just don't forget to increase your internet cache' folder meggage..all files will be there just like before ...

It breaks my heart that I can't download this show, but I'm happy that I could hear it. How long until even listening to shows will be taken away. It reminds me of spinal tap, Don't touch the guitar, don't even look at it.

anyway this show is amazing, Iko acoustic wow, after the aud mic gets turned off, the sound is just like reckoning... great show
Lets trade if anyone has this recording on cd....

10/26/80. What i thought was FUBAR at the beginning - IKO starts w/ aud mic on - turns out to be a treat: by the time yur done w/ 1st set (awesome) you can only imagine what nuts the crowd was going on ripple. The boyz are AMPED.

how cool is the Iko? Try in on! It is very sweet. ripple's better than the released LIVE albumn - smooooth, lil short. The electric sets makes the SB version way worth it - Phil's sparing but strong - Brown Eyed, Roses, Jack A Row, China Doll, Stella - take your pick, Jerry's voice is close to its best this time of year...
