The sound on this is fantastic. I never got to see the band at the Greek, but so many good shows. Other highlights have been mentioned, but I love the "Tennessee Jed" too. It's herky-jerky in a really lovely way - Jerry's solo is like a long, clever story that doesn't make you laugh out loud, but is funny and insightful at the same time.

Perhaps the most celebrated of that year's Greek run; this one delivers as good as '82 can, and that's saying a lot for what really amounts to a great, great year for the band.



Set 1 - *everything* is dialed in. Jack Straw > Sugaree ten times YES! And really watch out for that Supplication Blues - man, oh man they should have kept this one in the rotation - this is jut sizzling jazz.



Set 2 - CC>R just *smokes*, and the jam out of He's Gone all the way through the constitution of NFA proper really is the red meat of this show; we're talking about a big half-hour in the middle here, D>S included. The jam in particular out of Space is my absolute favorite part of the show; check out Brent's beep-boop computer-key tones that he revs up again at the suite finale. The Rat has some of the loveliest harmonies you'll hear in this era.



You *do* have to get on your early-80s Bob Weir dork-goggles for the last couple of numbers, and they really blow the encore, but who cares? An excellent show, and thanks once again to Mr. Miller for the beautiful remaster.
