Long haul jam here. Great tone, Jerry's got it totally busted with overdrive, and Bob is clean as a whistle. Excellent transition into Wharf Rat

Could have been an all-timer with a synchronistic crowd leading the claps, but they’re waaaay fast on tempo. Band sloppily tried to match.

Crowd is nice and rowdy tonight. Wonder how tickets were dolled for this run. Sounds like 250 instead of 2,500 in there.

Such a beautiful clean tone on Jerry's Tiger here. I wonder how it sounded in the room, boy does it ever shine on tape.

I went to the ends of the earth to verify that they did, indeed, play it this slow...or somehow a gigantic magnetic field was cast upon the dozen-or-so isolated recording units capturing this. Further than mellow...this drags your head straight into the basement. Real bummer...but powerful and beautiful

gd80-10-23.101256 --- I thought the previous night had a rowdy Chad crowd...nothing compared to these schmucks. I believe the conversation/request to please be quiet was attempted...and they very firmly asserted they were not going to shut up. Even though these guys are harshing out the entire section...someone still passes them a rose...("pass the rose" triggered different images in my head) Maybe the sentiment brought a brief moment of self-awareness? Or maybe the taper moved the mics...

Is Mickey really playing a Dhol here? I'm hearing the specific phased 'swoop' sound of Punjabi music. Quite distracting. Makes you think...Mickey might be the REAL king of the wooks for making them think drums were cool. Too bad, drums suck.
