    I got a great copy of this in the fall of '82 from some guys I knew at Lafayette College and relished this for a long time. On listening to this again cannot believe how hot this is and sadly this was the last time they played the Radio City and Warfield material acoustically. Oh babe it aint no lie, on the road again, bird song, all great.

  • ★★★★★ · Good one · tballz · 2007

    Some people have commented that the sound wasn't that good and have marked it down on that accord. The sound is perfectly fine, there is some slight tape noise, but compared to many other shows that I have gotten from here there is no problem. You can hear every instrument and voice perfectly fine. What we got here is a high energy show with an accoustic set. Not the best version of any of the songs that was ever played, but you can say that about well over 2,000 other shows as well.

  • ★★★★★ · Fantastic Upgrade! · davdna · 2006

    I have an old tape of this show. I recall it was recorded very speedy, or very slow. distorted nonetheless. Thank you for posting! The whole thing reminds me of a soundcheck. Unlike a soundcheck, there is no stopping to shout out chords C minor,D, C minor, E ! then picking up where you left off. Its a performance! The fact that they were playing with borrowed equipment seems to make it more challenging for the boys, and thus they sound like they are having good 'ol fashoned Grateful Dead fun.
