    Because of my age, this time period was one where things got real busy real fast. College was over and it was time to start something and so on. I didn't get to too many shows for a few years; about 1978 through 1985 I saw maybe 4 or 5. Hearing this recording makes me wish I'd gone to a few more. But then I say that about every GD era! What impresses me here is how fine a voice Brent was in the mix. I know he took a raft of s*** from a lot of Deadheads, but they are wrong.

    After hitchhiking from New York to Salt Lake for this show and arriving 2 days early it was awesome. Nobody mentioned Might As Well – I think this was a break-out after putting it away for a few years (3 years ??)… I remember that ol’ feeling NICE might as well….., and the dew … great show. The next night/show (Seattle), they broke out Baby Blue …. I remember texting my friend (now my wife) …. Wait it wasn’t a text, I called for a dime.
