Went to all Ventura shows and listening to this one is pretty good overall. Whoever gave it a 1 is just not listening. It sounds pretty nice to me. I remember
...
seeing Jerry sitting in a chair behind the stage shaking his head like he was really stoned, trying to shake it off. And a double encore to boot. Not a very common occurance in Dead shows. They must have been on.

Subject: Rippin set! Great audience show.
I was quite pleasantly suprised about this show and how good it sounded from the audince quality perspective. It takes about 2 minutes to get used to the
...
audience quality ( I have 95% sbds) so this was an aquired taste- I am very happy to have given it a shot.
The intro on bucket is slinky and sort of 'confised' as it is still beign refined as a new tune. The scarlet is very tight- great long inro- they jam for 1:31 before garcia hits the firts verse. Nice long fun intro. Crowd is into it but you do no hear but a few people. There is no crowd noice to this audience show. I had this blasitng last night on my way back from a family outing and it was on fire. Check out the other >warfrat. Jerry sings sooo sweetly- his inflexctions adn holding of the notes lets us know he is not just singing this for the heck of it- he is into it. NFA to close was tetering on 70's style jamming.
I give this show a 3.5 starts for sound and a 5 stars for what I hear iin the music, unlike rob001 below who has decided he needs to type in all caps adn be angry about wind and heat...dude get oover it. The show rocks. I wish there was a sbd of it. Scarlet>fire is 25 minutes long. It may have been hot but the miusic never sufffered.
I was not there and saw my first show 4 years after this one. A ocnservative 4 stars for thi sh0w. You will nto be disappointed unless all you every listended to you entire life is A+ sbds.
This show deserves respect in the lineage of deadshows.

Subject: Different Take.....
This audience tape starts a little warbly but gets its sea-legs by West L.A. I know this show is like the ugly step-child to the night before but it really
...
deserves a better fate. The second set is hypnotic and filled with vivid imagery and echolalic verbosity. Pretty hot pre-drums Scarlet>Fire and than Jerry takes a break to chase the dragon. Space>Other One is lucid and full of intricate ensemble jamming. 18 minutes later Wharf appears from the mist with Garcia getting full use from his torn vocal chords. Like the China Doll from 7/30 he pours his heart into each lyric enciting the crowd into erotic pleasure. The jam that ensues is a Mydland-fest coupled with a nice helping of the tiger axe. Garcia's hands were caked with residue throughout the show and he probably hadn't showered in days but this is pure '83 magic and is a hidden gem amongst many more recognized recordings.

My 2nd show, and not nearly up to the level of the previous day. You can skip this one. Although the Saturday Night encore on Sunday was kind of fun!
