  • ★★★★★ · Take a step back, indeed... · opus_25 · 2017

    This was my first Dead show, “Take a step back” was basically the theme of this night. I was a freshman at UofR. Some friends of mine drove up from Pittsburgh for this and we were a band of around 10 or 12 including some of my local pals. We walked to the War Memorial and got there around 4 PM. Lots of purple berries going around. It was a very intense high energy crowd outside. The venue had a long row of glass doors. The doors opened outward.

    PLEASE READ THIS THREAD: http://www.archive.org/iathreads/post-view.php?id=29989 I have refrained from getting into a war here, but please read the above thread and you will see that there are BIG things going on that MANY people are quite upset about (and rightly so, in my opinion). Several reviewers have been upset with me, but apparently they failed to notice that I never suggested undermining the system by trading shows that were declared off-limits -- as others have suggested doing.

  • ★★★★★ · Mind Wondrin missed the boat. · tomharp62 · 2017

    On the occasion of the 40th anniversary of what was my 15th show (but the one that "set the hook" for life) I noticed the recent 'review' by Mind Wonderin and just had to respond. Clearly this person wasn't in that electric room this evening, but how one can listen to this show and call it "lesser" with just a C rated average 2nd set is mind wondering indeed. Yes the 1st set was incredible (I still measure all Half Step's against this one) but the 2nd set was anything but average.
