Subject: Gone are the days when the ladies said PLEASE.. This is sweet without all the hype of 77.

Brent doesn't sing too much but big in the instrument mix.

Great 1st set-well played with secondary tunes

like Big River and C.C. Rider well jammed

Before B.E. Jerry was riffing one of his ballad tunes.

It has been a few years but Ithaca was one hard core hippie town

last time I happened to visit I dunno back in the late 80's

Passenger, I love this tune

So high energy

Always considered this and Cumberland

as connected to the Phil Zone.

Yeah, HIGH TIME -what a cool tune

Intro sounds a lot like Too Lay Me Down to my ear

but wow can't go wrong with High Time

Right into>LET IT GROW!

and >Don't Ease (this is an 11 song set)



Shakedown>Bertha

That is a serious combo

big jams in Shakedown

good dance hall Bertha

Sailor>Saint

One of those combo's

I liked but not everybody in my camp.

Not sure just going with Saint of Circumstance

really was an improvement

Spanish Jam-pretty lengthy and mellow



Truckin' Weir counts it off with the whistle

"You better get back Truckin' on"

A little late in the evening but getting some slide work in - May 17, 2020Gone are the days when the ladies said PLEASE..

Subject: Beautiful set Really solid playing. Jerry sounds good and is in command of his axe. Love this set list. Songs are tight and nicely drawn out renditions. Not the most perfect balance of voices and instruments, but it's more than pleasing to listen to. Love the Althea, Stranger, FOTD, Stella. - December 11, 2019Beautiful set

Subject: 16th Trip Around the Sun Third and final outing at the renowned Barton Hall at Cornell. Of course there's 5/8/77, 5/7/80, and this 81 gem. Love this 81 sound and 5/16 ranks pretty high among "Favorite Tapes" in deadbase. It's sixth (18 votes), just behind 10/16, 5/6, 12/31, 3/28, and 10/6. To be sure, it's not as good as 5/6 (Dick's 13), but it's in the immediate vicinity. I love the sound and feel of this first set. But really you should hold on for that second. Set opens with a long mellow funky patient Shakedown - also opens disc 3 of the 30 trips definitive live story - that makes its way into a fast paced Bertha. It's a fine double dose of Jerry dusting things off in the second. That leads right into the Bobby combo, Lost Sailor->Saint, where we get more speed-work and a treat with its transition into Spanish Jam. Through drumz and beyond, this set never lets up. It closes with a final 30 minute suite featuring a post-Truckin' Nobody's Fault Jam into a choice Stella Blue. - January 22, 201916th Trip Around the Sun

Reviewer: kbmill - - July 30, 2015

Subject: bread crumb I was intrigued by the Althea > CC Rider - kind of a silky combination.



Turns out that Althea and CC Rider were player in the same show 51 times. Only once both in the second set and 40 times both in the first set.



Of those times that they were played in the same set, 15 are CC then Althea, 11 are Althea then CC and 15 they are split by other songs. There are 127 CC Riders all told, so about 20% of the time they are played one after the other.



Interestingly, the CC then Althea combination was dominant in the early years and Althea then CC was more common later, so this example was somewhat rare for its era. - July 30, 2015bread crumb

Subject: Ha ha, sounds like Mickey chanting and yelling during Drums. Pretty good show. Great set list, Spanish Jam and Nobody's fault Jam is special....Fantastic sound quality, of course, thank you Charlie!

I thought I heard some Mickey hootin and hollerin and chanting during Drums that made me laugh as well.

Probly more like a 3.5, but I'm tryin to be extra discerning as this is my first ever post on the archive. Hey everybody. :)



Great show!! Check it out!! - June 11, 2015Ha ha, sounds like Mickey chanting and yelling during Drums.
