Subject: Sounds good to me Folks below are not liking the sound, but it works for me. I generally prefer SBDs, and this isn't one for sure, some clapping and ambient noise - but I hear all the instruments separately, and it does have that nice lively feel that audience recordings can provide.



The set list and the bands chops are strong, well worth the listen. - March 29, 2016Sounds good to me

Subject: Just like a Swiss watch... I was in the little overhanging balcony stage left for this show, I was looking just about straight down on the band. It sounded great to me! I saw every show of '83 up to that point and the rest of these Warfield shows, this one seemed the best to date...better would come later as '83 was a banner year for sure! I saw over 50 shows that year and still this one sticks out as a real good time.



The recording sounds decent for a AUD recording at the warfield, there is usually a lot of audience noise in a small place like that, plus the main balcony is kind of tight leading to that closed in sound on AUD tapes.

Subject: Good show made worse by lousy mix Not a bad aud recording and a pretty good show. My problems lie with the PA mix, ie what the audience heard. The vocals are WAY too loud and Garcia and Weir's guitars are both way too quiet. Who was the soundman? The audience sounds like they're having a blast tho. - May 25, 2008Good show made worse by lousy mix

Subject: Who's Complaining??? I know the sound ain't grand, but heck - I'm just so pleased I am able to listen to an 80's show from Warfield.



On my little Toshiba laptop built-in speakers, no one's going to notice the difference and I can rock around my kitchen till the Cows Come Home to the Palace, or in this case, until they bring the Warfield Walls Tumblin' Down!



Thank you poster!

Subject: Thats crazy. The sound has a nice live sound to it. Iam listening to Ramble and its nice. I love the 80's also esp. 83,84 and 85. Iam one of those that would defend a Roanoke 84 over some 70's stuff. Warfield 1983- oh my, what a time that must of been. - March 20, 2007Thats crazy.

Subject: Sounds like a good show I listened to most of the show its a keeper except for the poor quality of the recording. Wait for another source to become available or use it for a filler. Too bad. - July 6, 2006Sounds like a good show

Reviewer: smgarcia - favorite favorite - June 26, 2006

Subject: Decent This is a decent AUD. Average at best. There is a persistent, low level amount of clapping. Plus the sound rings around the venue before being collected into the microphones.



Listen to the introduction of Help in the second set. Kind of gets you excited. The first set is not the most interesting 1st setters ever. But the second set is chock full of great songs. I would love to get an SBD of this show. A likely keeper.



Sound quality is average, or maybe slightly below average. - June 26, 2006Decent

Subject: I love this show I have always been a fan of the eighties and this show in particular. Spring of 90 has great moments and pristine boards - May of 77 has plenty of devotees. I never understand why comparing eras of the dead is necessarily qualitative. It's like saying Monet's talent went downhill in the the last years of his life. Where am I going with this. I like the sound and vibe of the dead playing in venues like the Warfield. The playing is energetic and the Garcia-Mydland interplay on Birdsong exemplary. I love the Used to Love her, Jack Straw and Esau from this show. Nothing extraordinary, just fun to listen to. The Help-> Slip-> Franklins is great and I love how it just melts into Estimated. Anway - if you like 83 this is good one but the recording is a bit muddy. If you like to gripe about how uninspired Garcia was from June of 1977 to December 1989, then go put on Cornell and leave this one alone. - August 26, 2005I love this show
