a great matrix

My goodness, what a great sounding recording!

Garcia is on fire for the whole first set (all I have heard so far). He sounds amazing. The guitar playing is fluent and fiery, the vocals are lucid and not dreadfully junky-sounding. The whole band sounds good.

Lots of train references in the first set, even for the Grateful Dead.

  1. By contrast, 13 months later, on 10/5/84, Garcia sounds like a total wreck. Yeesh.

  2. This was the show the Cris from Meat Puppet's talks about seeing.

  3. The Playin In the Band through Other Other One segment is some of the finest dead of all time. Would also say that the garcia/weir duet out of space is the best of all time.
