Subject: Brent is Jerry is God Here is another show to rank up there with 5-22 from the Greek in terms of the extreme tight beats and relative instensity of the performances.



Set 1:

Mississippi Half-Step

Franklin's Tower

New Minglewood Blues

Peggy-O

El Paso

Cumberland Blues

Althea

Cassidy

Big Railroad Blues

Man Smart-Woman Smarter

Might As Well



Set 2:

Shakedown Street

Samson And Delilah

To Lay Me Down

Let It Grow

Drums

He's Gone

The Other One

Stella Blue

Sugar Magnolia



Here's how I program this:



Mississippi Half-Step

Franklin's Tower

Peggy-O

[Cassidy is skipped because of an awful cut in the board recording}

Cumberland

Might as Well



Shakedown Street

To Lay Me Down

Let It Grow



The Lay Me Down is especially magnificent but regardless, all things considered, this is one of the best shows of the 80s and, if nothing else, is more proof that everthing post-coma is sort of pathetic and irrelevant. After seven or eight minutes of 'Let it Grow', when the floor drops out from beneath from your feet, nobody will question this. The next best (and last best) version may very well be Springfield '85.



This version transitions harshly around 11 minutes, at least on my pooter. You have been warned. - February 13, 2011Brent is Jerry is God

Subject: the stars shining bright After seeing Phil at starlight a few nights ago (7-19-06) I really reflected back to this show and so did quite a few old friends. Everyone brought up the incredible sunset at this 82 show. Funny how everyone seemed to disagree WHEN that occured. I remember Bobby pointing up to the streaks of light at the last of El Paso when he said "goodbye". I know Im right ;)



In 82 they didnt even come close to selling out and I remember lots of people jumping the fences.



What a change Starlight itself has gone under. I think this was one of the best shows I had the chance to attend. It certainly beats out the other 84 & 85 shows there.



All recording afficinado crap aside I hope this gets released one day.



Check out Jerry's sweet phrasing on Peggy-O. A crazy paced Cumberland and lively Mighty as Well. Probably one of my favorite Shakedowns. - July 22, 2006the stars shining bright

Subject: From birth to death....and everything in between Always gotta love shows when Jerry paints a tapestry with a little bit of everything. Beginning with "Half-Step" ("..on the day I was born..") and closing with "Stella" ("When all the cards are down..") and in between "Don't tell me this town (life?) ain't got no heart/You just gotta poke around." ("Shakedown Street") Thank you to all who allow us to benefit from you work, - AshesRising - July 2, 2006From birth to death....and everything in between

Subject: On the day that i was born... This show was performed on the day i was born....August 3, 1982. I have been a Grateful Dead fan for nearly half my life, but sadly never saw the band in person. It's really cool to be able to hear a show from the day i was born. Especially with the 1/2 Step opener...on the day when i was born...such a great show makes me smile - May 20, 2006On the day that i was born...

Subject: 08-03-82 I initially rec'd an aud of the 2nd set about 10 years ago...one of my favorite early 80s shows...great to finally hear the first set...the second set is great from the opening notes of shakedown to the closing ring of Casey Jones...classic Let It Grow>Drums, Space>He's Gone are show highlights...quality is good, not superb, some of the intros sound stepped on in the first set...5 for performance for that era and a 3 for quality...overall 4 - March 25, 200508-03-82

Subject: Fine show My girlfriend and I were following the Dead around for a couple weeks of this tour but certainly this one was the best show we saw. What a beautiful venue. The crowd was wonderful. We'd been a bit disappointed with Jerry's '40th Show' at Zoo Ampitheater, though that was actually a pretty decent gig but this one blew us out of our seats. Really the power of the show can't be transmitted through a recording. Unfortunately there are some problems with this recording. Show was a big 5 but the recording is a 3 or 4. So I give it a 4, though I'd urge you to download what was clearly one of the finest shows of the early 80s. - August 16, 2004Fine show

Subject: Love this show! A decent quality cassette copy of this show (1st and 2nd sets) has been one of my favorites from 1985 to the present. This version seems seems a little fuzzy and sped up by comparison, but is still very entertaining. If only there was a pristine "Betty Board" type recording for it! Unfortunately the '82 soundboards fail to rise to that level.

Still, this whole show smokes: from the raging 1/2 Step>Franklin's Tower right through ALL of the 2nd set. I would give almost anything to have been there this night ... 5 stars for performance, 3 for the recording = 4 stars overall. - August 3, 2004Love this show!
