Hey Now!

It took Phil along time to get around to that Box of Rain request-86

Always liked the Heaven Help jams from this era

El Paso>Ripple.

Subject: awesome show

Gotta love the acoustic sets. Plus the electric sets that follow are pretty killer as well. I love the feeling the AUD tapes capture, its as close to being there as you can get nowadays.

Definitely check it out! You won’t regret it.

I wonder if Dave ever looks at the Archive...probably not, he's got it all on his own server. But in case he does, or one of you out there knows him, we need a Box Set of the '80 acoustic run.

This was my 50th Dead show. I loved the Warfield & made it to 12 of the 15 shows in this run! I have to agree that audience tapes are the way to go...captures the experience best. And sometimes I can hear my friends (between songs!). Thank you! <3

30+ years ago we were excited to have most any recording of shows! Some better than others but still made us smile!
Also 1st second Jerry solo break.

Subject: Loser

This "Loser" is absolutely steller. Right up there with 5/8/77. I'll take an audience recording in a venue like this any day over a soundboard in a large venue. This is where you get at least a glimpse of what it was like to have been there. Great show all around. Great song selection especially.

Reviewer: L. Rosley - - September 20, 2006
Subject: Very, very nice

The previous reviewer made some good points about the recording and the show, and I agree. This is a sweet show through and through, from the first acoustic set (and I love these Sept/Oct 1980 sets), through the second and third sets. A mellow triple of He's Gone, The Wheel and a beautiful Stella makes a somewhat unusual third set before rocking out with Miracle.

I'd give this show a 4.5 if I could. There are definately 5-star spots during the show, though.

This is a great AUD recording in a great venue. There is some fade out in Cold Rain & Snow, but besides that well worth the download. There is a lot of complaining about no SBDs, but people need to remember two things: the Heads of the past kept their mouths shut, because it was the music that was important, not the scene. Secondly, these shows in the Warfield are in an intimate setting with great acoustics. The combination of the two sets up for quality sound if the taper was efficient. Thanks to Bob, listening to this show feels like you're sitting in the balcony right next to him.

I only got to experience the band in large venues, so these Warfield shows are priceless and the feel of the crowd only adds to the experience.
