Beautiful comedown after an epic Eyes. Forgotten show or not, this is one of the best 2nd sets of the year - and that says a hell of a lot.

Let It Grow

William and Mary College Hall

Unique Dead with the whole horn section. In places sounds like Nigerian Juju pop from the same era (King Sunny Adé or Fela's big band). Very cool.

Sweaty funky and a little bit loose - just like the lady in the song.

Bird Song

Extremely beautiful version with some AUD problems. Sparkling melodicism out of the perfect collective mind. A forgotten diamond.

Ramble On Rose

William and Mary College Hall

Impassioned version like few others, with both Jer and Keith firing on all cylinders. Terrible AUD probs keep this show unknown, but worth a listen.

An undeniably beautiful version from an outrageously beautiful acoustic set in an unbelievably face-stealingly beautiful show. Did I mention that I like it?

Nice description, couldn't say it better myself. One of the best 80s Dews I know.

Interstellar undersea worlds with an occasional Persian carpet-riding caterpillars whooshing through en route to a killer Dew: Yep, that'll do nicely, thanx.
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower

Marin County Veterans Auditorium

The Slipknot alone would merit an up vote, but the long, grooving Franklin's sets it in stone.

Good call hvd, and I'll check out 10.12.83 too. Sounds almost like they forgot which set they were in and were just itching to lift off into it. This one could be much higher, and it's a great example of the mid-80s sound that first got me on the bus.
