  • ★★★★★ · Ah, show #1 for me! · mandonut · 2004

    Easter Sunday. Parents dropped me off at noon, and were really a little discomforted that a 15 year old and two friends had to get to an 8 PM show at noon. When they got to the Spectrum, their fears only escalated. We took some potent lysergic and drifted into the Spectrum only to find three strange folks in front of us all dressed in matching Star Trek pajamas. Little did I know what would happen when the lights went down! The Dew was incredible and my mind is forever blown!

  • ★★★★★ · Best Easter ever! · BYB · 2007

    I went to this show with my future wife after spending most of Easter Sunday meeting her relatives for the first time. Saw all three shows at the Spectrum in 85 and this was by far my favorite. We sat in the tapers section and managed to produce a somewhat lisstenable tape of the show with some cheepo equipment. I remember the nervous looks of the surrounding tapers while we danced wildly through a serpentine of mic stands. My favorite SBTM and GSL of all time.

  • ★★★★★ · Revised review · Trannyman · 2005

    Earlier I said this show was a mixed bag and not up to summer 85 standards. Revision- This show, despite Garcias blown vocal chords (no lack of effort on Garcias part though) is one of the finest in 1985, and is absolute pure GD magic. Recording is good too. A must have for anyone looking for the best available from each year.
