Subject: Sweet recording

Agree with all below....GREAT recording.
Great performance. I'm an audience rec. Lover. There are also fantastic aud. rec. and perf. of Spokane and Seattle in June 80.

Subject: My First Show! Happy 40th Anniversary!

8th row with my sister, tripping balls, what a way to start a decade of 125+ shows. I had no idea that LRR was an unusual choice for the second set. During the Comes A Time I remember feeling fully levitated and existing in the space above the crowd. Outside the show we ran into a guy I worked with who was obviously in full mode - he played Dead tapes in the kitchen of a restaurant where I washed dishes. Much later we stopped by my buddy’s house who was making post-show french fries. “We” were everywhere and I was hooked! This is a very nice recording of a great and memorable show - thank you! Five for my first!

Subject: Was fun taping it! :) row 20 almost ctr!

I’d hitched to Cleveland via Miss River fest and 3 Uptowns ( all taped:) This was a good show , I patched into Gus w Nach 300’s ( RIP) and my D5/ my girlfriend drove from Jersey/ drank a big puddle of LSD and unbeknownst to me left at set break to commiserate and be w the homeless of Cleveland city giving away her stuff like keys and money . Needless to say 4am cops came w her at fancy hotel room / bad trio but safe:) Trouble Behind....tough making Datsun keys on Sun AM In Cleveland . I was pleased w recording I made / I’d rate it about 8.25 .

Little Red Rooster debuted a week before this show as a second set opener. It follows second set opener Don't Ease Me In in this show. Rooster was then played 270 more times, always in the first set (or the first electric set if you want to nit pick).

This is an amazing sounding recording. Seems almost every ones recordings from this hall came out fantastic. There must be a super sweet spot in this place. And you my friend nailed it

Subject: best aud of late summer 1980

Without question this is the best audience recording to come from the late summer 1980 tour. I much prefer this to the SBD. 5 stars for this amazing performance (the whole tour is pretty hot), and 5 stars for this killer recording.....b-a-l-l...c-r-u-s-h-i-n-g Sugaree opener....

Subject: Sugaree

What a blistering version of Sugraee.

The Grateful Dead as a this summer concert goes are a very all encompassing organic organism here living and breathing = such is Sugaree ... "hello Cleaveland" ...

Best of the Roses, john french

Rumor had it that someone not very nice was raiding the cookie jar. Some of the songs definitely depict a disgruntled character. It was fun though being in Cleveland. Cincy beer was flowing. Nice Comes a Time, Casey Jones and LSD. Well must go, Furthur.
