- ★★★★★ · Awesome!! · Jeffrey-O · 2005
This is a great jammin' 1st set. The sound is fantastic too!!! A keeper from the last year of consistently high quality performances of the Dead.

- ★★★★ · no accounting for taste · mid-maine · 2005
i am a little surprised by the previous review, though not really. collector friends and i used to argue the merits of various eras, and i was always a long defender of the '80s. oddly, this was always one of my standby first sets. of course, from '81, for first sets you've got russelheim, salt lake, u maryland, melk weg and others. however, this tape (i had a very hissy board acquired in '85) maintained steady rotation with me throughout the years. why?

Update! The complete show is now available, check it out here: July 7, 1981 Kansas City Municipal Auditorium Arena I suggest you all go there and get it. Let's see what the deadheads think of the entire show! Original Revised Review Looking at mid-maine and hazbeen's reviews, I gave this show another listen. I found that my review from November 23, 2004 was a bit harsh. I am giving this show an additional star. It really isn't a bad show.
