Real clean sound as well. For anyone staring at this list of 96 shows and wondering where to start, this could be your place. Good show all around J.Tucker 2004-03-29 18:13:39 2004-03-29 18:13:39 4 11060 As far as I know, there is no circulating copy of this show in SBD form. Rob Eaton doesn't even list a SBD of it in his vault. Sometimes AUD recordings are all we can get or ask for, and this is certainly a nice one. Better than nothing, as they say. No SBD benwirth 2004-04-01 13:32:38 2004-04-01 13:32:38 4 11094 From start to finish this show is what the Dead are all about. Yeah, the quality could be better but its the music that counts and it rarely gets better than this. I've had the tape in my collection for 20 years and its in my 3 most played list. I was fortunate enough to be at this show, only my second, but I never appreciated it until I got my hands on the tape. The energy level and music both stay at extrordinary levels from Half-Step through Good Lovin'. And this Lazy Lightning/Supplication may arguably be the hottest, most intense playing you will ever hear. This is a must have for those looking for the "best" of the Dead! Lazy Lightning/Supllicatio-need I say more JayJ 2004-04-02 20:40:19 2004-04-02 20:38:53 5 11137 If you can put up with the crowd noise, you can enjoy this show supremely. I've been spoiled by excellent Kimock shows, but this is good for 79. Thank God the Dead made their way onto archive.org Mediocre Jam Sandwich 2004-04-03 17:03:25 2004-04-03 17:03:25 4 11177 Rumor has it, a long time NY area Deadhead went to the Dead's vault and headed straight for this show. There was a gap where the show should have been. Also, Keith Gatto used Nak 300's to record this show, not Shure's. No soundboards of this show Lando 2004-04-04 15:17:39 2004-04-04 15:17:39 5 11029 This good period-audience preserves the soul and exceptional quality of the performance. If you can listen to an audience start here. If you have no soundboards start with 4/22, 10/27, 11/01, 12/01. Let me take this opportunity to thank archive.org ! I'd also like to thank the individuals (Charlie Miller ?) now uploading Grateful Dead shows as well as (esp) Kimock, Cheese and many more! Thanks to all the posters and archive.org, the best site on the net ! ok, there are no soundboards for this show. archive_manifestsound.com 2004-04-08 23:08:06 2004-03-31 18:41:25 4 11417 What a graat AUD recording!!!! Total crowd involvenment from a nice 83 show in NYC that sounds great. Jerry's voice is on, Donna is on key, they band is working at full force! This is an East Coast Family Show. Thanks y'all for offering this up! Let's put this next to Cornell '77 Jaystraw 2004-04-11 03:31:07 2004-04-11 03:31:07 5 11909 This is quite possibly my favorite Dead show EVER. Great quality, and the "Terrapin" is worth the download alone. Oh yeah... Gr8fulDerrida 2004-04-19 17:46:48 2004-04-19 17:46:48 5 14752 Very surprised this is the most downloaded GD show right now. While the intensity of the playing is up there at times (see the Lazy>Supp) it just doesnt warrant being the most sought after show on a site with so much better to offer. Im partial to 73-74 and 90-91 boards so that should put it into perspective. Im not sure a SBD would even save this one for me, though. It's a lazy show with periodic fast playing that wows the crowd but it sounds like its being blasted by someone down the hall. I just cant grasp it. Some nice moments for sure but its very easy to find something better. Dont believe the hype *Merlin* 2004-06-13 13:25:09 2004-06-13 13:21:04 3 14880 i am still keen to the fire on the mnt form the roanoke shows in 1987 wher eis 1987 by the way?? good fire on mnt gainzer 2004-06-15 18:31:38 2004-06-15 18:31:38 4 14808 This is a comment on this show's reviews, given there are quite a few of the show itelf already and even though, I didn't attend nor am I sure if I've even heard this one yet, but I certainly have heard others of this time period; so aside from much of the following, I do have a specific educated commment regarding a portion of this show in relationship to it's contemporaries, (see below). In fact I arrived here looking at most of these shows for info related to folks/equipment, etc. of the period, and had actually forgotten that this is "the most downloaded show currently"; given that the most active period of taping I did myself, (West Coast) was during the surrounding time; most of which as it turned out, have well known boards, for example the last K&D show amongst others. So I'd like to compliment the site operator(s)/webmaster(s) since there are several reviews posted, for keeping up a decenting opinion ! I can't yet say which way I'd gravitate toward in the debate ? But for example I'll never forget during the break at Brent's first show (a few months later, if you don't already know that), I was making small talk conversation with the sorrounding folks, just being freindly and somehow I started to say something about a jazz show I'd attended the previous year, (McCoy Tyner, Ron Carter, Sonny Rollins and Al Foster) al influences on Grateful Dead etc., in relationship somehow to improvisation or something or other etc., when at least with this one fellow, if not most of the other folks around me, I suddenly realized, that these were what I still consider some of the more narrow minded variety of music fans. (The look on his face etc., was like there is no other band but the Grateful Dead). So I suddenly said, something like "Oh, excuse me. I forgot I'm at a Grateful Dead concert." At which point he offered out his hand, as if to allow me to re-join the collective so to speak. So that is to say, part of what many of us related to with Grateful Dead is that it was more easy to see that there virtuosity was(is) on a par with some more tightly structured/heavily rehearsed bands or a philharmonic orchestras etc. yet, still seemed quite humanly fallable unlike others who if they made some mistakes etc., without extreme scrutiny, one would seldom notice any great difference, ie. just like most of the rest of us ! Having said all that ... Now back to the show at hand. The fellow who wrote the decenting opinion acknowledged the excellence of the Lazy Lightin'-> Supplication. Having myself seen and recorded at the show, several before and after this one. I can attest to the "late" Lazy Lightin' period (end K&D-early Brent) as it's best. Also, admittedly, I was the type who after they stopped playing it, would yell at the top of my lungs for it amongst others. And No Lie, I got my request fulfilled, on think more that one occasion, at least once instantly amongt one or two other songs that day at the Greek '82; which obviously blew not only my mind, but of course those around me whom I'd subjected to my outbursts at the quietest moments. Some of these can be heard on various audience recordings that I didn't make, for example, me yelling "Warp 10", (someone I got my first copy of 1974-10-18 from had labeled the cassette this way), either before, The Eleven Jam 1979-12-26, or was that the next night before the "Meantime A Day At the Dentist", teeth drilling improvisation ? I haven't listened to that in a while, but I'm sure they're both this site. Or similarly, "The final frontier" before improvisation at other shows. But I made it a point, never to yell for St. Stephen or Dark Star ! (Although I did see St.Stehen once before this and Dark Star 5 1/2 times after this.) So thanks for the tip Bro. I wait in great anticipation of at least that part of this show, as a mind blower ! Review of reviews, compliments to site/oper. ! Augy 2004-06-25 22:23:38 2004-06-14 15:41:24 4 15517 With all due respect to fellow Deadheads who have reviewed this show, this is not worth your while. The quality is poor. Songlist o.k. There are just so many other better alternatives out there. Regardless of whether you prefer early or late 70's, there is much better stuff out there. Thanks to this source, right at your fingertips. Move on. This show is poor. Stop The Madness RJGerard 2004-06-28 14:52:59 2004-06-28 14:52:59 2 15921 i was fortunate to stumble onto this site recently following it's inception. i believe that a partial explanation to this being the most downloaded might be the fact that it was one of the earlier shows of the 70's (if not all the decades) placed on this site. in addition some people with limited tape collections might see this as one of the more desirable shows to collect based strictly on the fact that it is the most popular, it is a vicious circle so to speak. also the fact that it is a show from a city that has a large population (some people only dl shows they attended etc.). just a theory...by the way the sound quality of this show is marginal look for good jim wise auds, i think they rule! possible explanation? dHazed 2004-07-04 22:17:00 2004-07-04 22:17:00 3 27185 wow, they were all quite zoned in that night it seems, only thing anyone would have on this show would be the quality, but im not one to care so much, i hear the music for what it really is ;) merry christmas and enjoy the phil shows this weekend and mardi gras get your ticks fast Amazing show!! StringCheeseIncidentNumero1 2004-12-16 15:32:46 2004-12-16 15:32:46 5 29417 I attended this 2 show run at MSG, all a big deal since they hadnt played there yet. The night before was mahem on the floor, but a good show. Rippin night at the garden nyc oldie 2005-01-28 08:56:37 2005-01-18 16:15:45 4 30626 Sounds like whoever taped this show DID NOT HAVE A TICKET and sat Shure's intact in the parking lot!! Nice energy show, and MSG proved to be a real stomping ground, but not in this recording. Please, get the board!!! You're killing me... Stop the madness indeed!!! Capt. Cook 2005-02-01 00:05:04 2005-02-01 00:03:07 2 35448 One of the best versions of Half-Step...Jerry took another turn with a nice second jam before going into Franklin's. I remember seeing Jerry look across the stage playing the same quartet riff about five times, as if to say, "let's get into it!" They did. This run was the first in a long line of high-energy MSG shows, with the NYC crowd going bananas from start to finish. Across the Rio Grandee-O DuneTripper 2005-03-19 12:27:21 2005-03-19 12:26:23 3 41184 I have to agree w/ the Captain. I think its a damn good show, I brings back memories of freinds & times long past. Unless a show was REALLY poorly recorded, mishandled, or 420'd, I think its hard to find a bad show. Thanks to Mr. Gatto for preserving this most excellent slice of Americana for everyone to enjoy forever :) I must agree... Conewrench 2005-05-12 11:15:20 2005-05-12 11:15:20 4 42033 Do I detect an electric kazoo player on Minglewood, must be a remnant from the disco dead sound machine... Jerry's "If I had me a shotgun I'd PROBABLY blow you straight to hell" takes the hardihood out of an otherwise grave threat... If the Friend of the Devil were a little more upbeat it would rival the energy of a Black Peter... Bob sings like a madman, that's right Bob get pissed off, you deserve all that lightning too!... Gotta run, Domo Arigato Mr. Keith Gatto. Running Concert Notes Majordomo Billy Bojangles 2005-05-24 10:43:57 2005-05-24 10:43:57 5 42180 Jerry's just froggy enough but not painful to listen to. Actually, I kind of liked the effort he put in on nights like these and Friend of... sounds great as does Scarlett, Miss 1/2/ Step etc. Something admirable and pleading about it all. Not to mention the extra effort that always went into his playing when his voice wasn't up to par. rated a 3 cause you have to put a number in there only.

The energy was very high (as NYC shows always were). This show was supposed to be in November 1978 but Jerry got Pneumonia and it was postponed. I bought a ticket for $7.50 one day at school and got on the bus. My first show, why Jerry's voice wasn't 100% Schnee100 2005-06-23 14:24:09 2005-06-23 14:24:09 5 49069 Horrible sound sid weiss 2005-08-24 08:46:33 2005-08-24 08:46:33 1 36064 Not bad sound, take a listen it's a Good show. sorry sidweiss, guess you had to be there buddy.

Jer's voice is just bad enough to be perfect and the band is on good as ever. Terrapin at it's best. Aud recording is good and maybe even better than a board in this case. It's the energy of the show that gets you here. 5 stars for soul on this one. Stand Out Show lostdog2323 2005-10-11 16:55:50 2005-10-11 16:31:12 5 56237 Get them while you still can!! Plus 6-8-74.

The Guyz played up a storm. I'd consider this a five star show if Jerry didn't sound so bad. My patented Garcia Cringe 'O Meter was bouncing around all over the place. This AUD is very clear and warm and gives you an excellent feeling of being there. Boy, it's just too bad ol' Jer didn't have it together, vocally, tonight. I guess that's what January can do to ya in SF. Excellent recording job Mr. Gatto. I guess I'll download anyway. Almost There. But Not Quite. lilrichwhiteboy 2005-12-30 08:52:03 2005-06-21 08:16:54 4 56610 But I can listen at work. Thanks GD for allowing the music to be free. I can't stream Hi-Fi ccclyde 2006-01-13 13:30:25 2005-11-29 14:13:56 5 On both points. I too noticed the high volume and looked at the show with real interest which now adds another tick to the counter. The other and I dont know for sure but this was probably one of the early group of late 70's put up. So your high count isnt because of special show it's what was available and maybe at the time it was a wht you see is what you get. Now at this point in the game its a vicious circle feeding off itself. I just rubber necked and said whoa whats this? answer a decent show-nothing out of the ordinary, Jerry's voice is shot from either opiates or free base and as far as plus side it's a pretty decent show with a few gems included moohichrlisted below. I couldnt figure out what the big attraction was so I checked out the set list for something that stands out, the sound is an average aud. not bad not great, so then my next step was read the reviews there probably some hot transitions or whatever but nothing except "nice Terrapin" or "Scarlet>Fire" happy trails}}}}}} D-haze I think your right- 3 early 80's meltdown 2006-06-03 01:28:54 2006-06-03 01:28:54 Jerry pouring his heart out, beautiful, raucous, new york energy ever present….just have to smile Big Dead/Jerry Grin 5 ArtisanSound 2006-06-04 02:17:56 2006-06-04 02:17:56 I went to medical school with Dr. Keith J.Gatto from 1981 to 1985. He was a gifted physician and the ultimate Greatful Dead fan. He passed away about ten years ago. His vast live concert library and musical knowledge were eclipsed only by his love for his family and patients. It brings great joy to know that he is remembered through music by his Greatful Dead friends. He traveled extensively recording every show he could attend from coast to coast. Think of him and smile. Dr. Keith Gatto rests in peace 5 eyezog 2006-07-21 00:12:56 2006-07-21 00:12:56 Clarification on Jerry's voice quality. He's just coming off a bout with bronchitis form the fall, this show was part of a make-up tour from late fall postponement. Probably one of the top 2 first sets you'll ever hear. If the Lazy Lightning/Supplication does'nt blow your mind nothing will. Rates easily in my top 5 shows attended and is a regular in my rotation. Wish the quality was better, but I'm sort of used to it after listening to this show bunches over last, oh my god, 25 years (it took me a while to find a tape):) Clarification Jay J 2007-04-10 14:18:45 2007-04-10 14:18:45 5 It was a magical show.
