I'm a young 17 year old head, only have a couple shows under my belt but I take every chance to see the boys now that comes. I was 2 years old when Jerry died, so i'm making up for a lot of lost time(so to speak). My main method of hearing shows is this site, which truly has been a gift, nurturing my love of the Dead. With that being said, I've been delving into the archive shows for awhile and have almost NEVER come across an AUD this beautiful, clear and perfect. This truly is a GIFT.

The Grateful Dead. What the Hell? How do they just keep pulling f**king amazing stuff out of their a****???? Everyone knows 78 was a year in which shows had great versions of a few songs, but dragged a little in the second sets. Not so this one. EVERY SONG I LISTEN TO IS F**KIN' FLAWLESS. I thought that all He's Gones after 1974 sucked. No way. He's Gone is ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS. Drums rocks too, which is extremely rare for it.
