Comments
Better show than it gets credit for
This show has gotten a lot of trash under Dick's Picks. I would agree that it would not be my first choice to come out of the '80's, and the first set generally bites, but the second set is stellar and seeing it live, was amaizing. The Jerry jamming for the entire second set was non-stop, and the CD captures it well. What a lot of folks seem to miss, at least from lack of comments under DP, is the Stella Blue -> Jerry's mid and closing jams are awesome. Well worth listiening too.

The Beginning
My First Show. Senior year high school. Wow.
Overwhelmed And Sucked Into The GD Vortex For Ever
First show - from the classic Fire licks, kicking the song off, to the staggering Stella Blue, I was hooked. 50 shows later, they only got better. Seems like a common theme, but the St Stephen the next night (10/15/83) was almost primal. Heads praying in the aisle upon song recognition. This is the scene I always desciribe when attempting to explain the phenomena to non-believers.
Merry Xmas to all and to all a Dead Night.
