With no walls of an arena or stadium to muck about with the sound, this was a crystal clear and delicious audio experience. Hence the gorgeous presence and clarity of the audience recordings. Agreed re the Let It Grow. Damn special. Oh yeah, and they were selling beer by the case. Miller I think. Ahhhh.... Texas.

- ★★★★★ · 1st show · beavewah · 2009
I think this was my first show. Did they play Manor Downs in 84? It might have been 84. Funniest thing happened (for a first timer). We were right up front and some fully naked guy in a cowboy hat was causing all kind of mayhem ! It didn't matter - we were all flyin!!
- ★★★★ · Sound Effects · Wrigly · 2019
The sound effects you are all referring to (i.e.: "Bobby" and others) were recorded by Brent Mydland and he used to play them during shows - I think to drive Bobby nuts. I remember them mostly in the mid-1980s - this show stands out and I remember them at Alpine Valley a lot. I remember thinking at the time, I thought I was hearing things - but it was all real thanks to Brent.
