Subject: 7-31-83 Excellent both in performance and sound quality. I don't usually comment on individual songs because it's so subjective. Having said that you just have to check out Fire on the Mountain it's incredible. - April 10, 20107-31-83

Subject: Gotta go with the SBD What a great show and a great weekend. The city of Ventura STILL wasn't ready for us even after showing them what we were about the previous year.

Sheets of Doves were prolific and they were really good & clean. We put 25 in a clear canteen and that kept us and everybody around us nice and happy the whole show.

I generally prefer AUDs or MTXs but the wind is so loud in AUD recordings you've got to go with the SBD. And this is a really crispy one too.

Jerry starts out a little low in the mix but by the time Jack Straw is over the sound is "just exactly perfect". Vocals and instruments are super-clear!

Oh, and that Fire on the Mountian the previous reviewer was talking about was in 1985 when they opened with OMSN -> Fire. No fire in the hills in 1983. - April 28, 2009Gotta go with the SBD

Subject: 7-31-83 I had this sbd back in the 80's and it was one of my favorite versions of Fire On A Mountain.The aud doesn't do it justice because of all the wind.

Some shows ,that at the time seemed to weak make good sbd's ,and some good shows ,the sbd's show all the flaws.When they played 2-14-68 they thought it sucked ,but later they realized it was great. rick e. -- April 5, 20087-31-83

Subject: Great Show This is a great show and a great recording. The jams are good, great turns, and the recording so crystalline you can hear all the little tweaks during songs like LLR. - January 25, 2008Great Show
