great show but GOAT status was in large part afforded it due to the quality of the tape, which in the 80's was a unicorn.


I’ll be curious whether the 85 Meriweather show’s esteem, which is about to be released was similarly due in large part to the quality of the tapes that circulated.

and another semi related note, we saw Grahame Lesh and friends in Colorado today it was an outstanding performance. That dude is killing it right now. Definitely go see them

I got to see Graham play with Amy Helms and Luther Dickinson at Fayetteville Roots Fest one year. It was super good.

Yeah they were fantastic
It was an outside show in the park in glenwood springs…GL plus the guitar and keyboards from string cheese, Billy Payne from little feat, Eliot Peck, tom Hamilton and Ross James.



Real good time. If they do it again next summer we will definitely attend

Cornell 77

But my all time favorite is Nassau 1990. The addition of a sax player Branford Marsalis makes for the best Eyes of the World to me.

1990-03-29 Uniondale, NY @ Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum
Set 1: Jack Straw > Bertha, We Can Run, Ramble On Rose, When I Paint My Masterpiece, Bird Song > The Promised Land

Set 2: Eyes Of The World > Estimated Prophet > Dark Star > Drums > Space > Dark Star > The Wheel > Throwing Stones > Turn On Your Lovelight

Encore: Knockin' On Heaven's Door

the release arrived the other day and I’ve spun it twice. I’m glad I didn’t buy the whole 1985 boxed set because I know me, and there’s no way I’d listen to the whole thing but, this show is excellent.

the shakedown street is revered for good reason, probably the best post 1980 version ever played. Rest of the show is high energy and the sound mastering is top notch. If you like mid 80’s dead you should get this.

on a related note, this is Jerry Garcia in 1975 and then in 1985, ten years later. Unreal how he aged so quickly

Garcia is a case study on how to ruin your health and die young. It’s astounding how little he gave a shite about literally anything other than his music and his vices
