Subject: who just said Brent was annoying? Hey,some cat from Nova Scotia said Brent was annoying..what band is dude listening to? Brent brought back the fun for the boys...it has been said Jerry was particularly upset over his death...Brent kind of reminded me of their little brother,the prankster...always with that goofy stare..and excessive shoulder gyrations..not to mention laying flames with the Hammond...dude didnt ask the boys if they would play to his style..they wanted to play with his style.....annoying?? total lunacy..opinion I guess,but absurd never the less. - May 22, 2019who just said Brent was annoying?

Subject: china-rider/ caution the chinacat is avg. transition is short. the IKYRider has some energy but is missing the longer and 'extra' guitar breaks between 'march winds' and 'wish I were a headlight' the last guitar break is good(but not overly long etc) so its nothing 'to write home about.'



The caution jam is full on, listen to Phil. The other post 74 caution jams are good but are more accurately good 'jams' as opposed to 'caution.' ie capecod '79, nassau 81



overall this is a GOOD show for 1980. as far as the recording its good for the period. 1980 SBD's are generally better than 81, most 82's, 83,84. beginning in late 80,81 the SBD recordings were an afterthought with lazy tape usage leading to bad cuts, tape flips etc. For instance recording the beginning of 2nd set at the end of 1st set cassette which lead to many bad cuts etc. Didnt care to spend the extra buck or two to start 2nd set on a fresh cassette. the Dec 81 tour was notable as some/most /all of it was taped on reels but not mixed to tape simple PA feeds a la 81cassettes etc and lack bass,' hot' vocals similar to majority /large minority of 81/82 cassette SBD's - November 30, 2015china-rider/ caution

Subject: bread crumb Imagine if Feels Like a Stranger had regularly been followed by Ship of Fools. We would have abreviated that to Feels like Fools on our tape cards! - January 14, 2015bread crumb

Subject: My First Show Yep, this is the one. Very first. High up in the rafters. Didn't quite completely "get it" till a couple of shows later but as I listened to the music, I had the sneaking conviction that there was more going on in the midst of those musical forays that met the eye (or ear). It would be a few more months before I turned from external, musical spectator to taking the trip on the inside of the musicscape, so to speak. - May 12, 2014My First Show

Subject: I agree with Dylan M ...that the 1980's are an overlooked period of Grateful Dead. There are some really powerful shows out there, and so many of them that I would rank the Spring/Summer '80 run as among their best. Yes, Brent is still somewhat annoying but Jerry is on it and all over it almost all the time.



This particular show is not among the best, thus the 4 star rating (a 3 star implies that something is realy wrong), but it certainly worth the listen - May 13, 2012I agree with Dylan M
