  • ★★★★★ · totally cut off.....plus Lesh!!! · 73vw · 2007

    I agree w/ other reviewer, re: weir pussing out on what would have been a MASSIVE Lazy Lightning! Jerry and Phil, et al were so into it particularly at the second "attempt" (I was there, too and everyone thought it was coming....), I mean, if you listen to it, the whole band-weir included-was there! oh well, definitely an epic first set indeed, great old time energy; SPAC did bring out the best in the boys, esp from 83-85 (skipped 88...)never thought I'd hear myself say it, but also, arguably…

  • ★★★★★ · Amy's VHS SBD? · Trannyman · 2006

    I was wondering which of these is the well circulated "Amy" tape. At any rate, if you are the 1% of heads who haven't heard this show yet, get to it. Looks like this is the version to get. About as pure a 1985 era GD show as there is. And the best first set I ever witnessed in 120 shows over 12 years. Some wondered if Jer was getting cut off w/supplication...nah..they play it out as they did at other 85 shows...just without the Lazy Lightning. Second set doesn't suck either!
