This was my 1st show of many more to come.I had been on the bus for quit a while but just didn't have a chance to go to any shows.
-

one of the all time "GRATE" half steps!!

I agree with Jim. Though I'm not the biggest fan of 'Half Step' this is a killer version. Beautifully played.
-Chad

Definitely one of my favorite Me and My Uncle renditions. Just really tight with a slight zip of 70's funk and just good ole Dead groovin.

What could have been an excellent Scarlet is yet again ruined by Donna.

OMG, Listen to Phil absolutely going off during the intro to Samson! They nailed it in '77-'78. This may be the tightest version ever! (Save for the little slip near the end)

Incredible 2nd set jam that includes close encounters towards the end of Drums/Space. It's brief, but it's there!
-Blind Man (11/24/2012)

Wow, the only show in my hometown. The recording totally rocks. Since it was a Betty Board, I hope/thought the "You fuckin idiot!" is either bobby or phil. The Boys did my town proud. I was 17, not on the bus. It was Clash and Bob and Zepp and Floyd and Skynyrd and Allmans. I did think Blues For Allah was THE coolest album cover. Little did I know what was in store for me in Oct 85 in Tampa.

Just when I thought I'd seen heard every great combo, this show pops up on gdradio.net. Such a joy to continue to discover past gems. Gators got a GRATE show indeed.

Came up from the Tampa show without girlfriend who couldn't make it. For some reason, this show didn't get to me. First show when I thought "Yeah it was ok". I guess it happens when you see too many shows. New sound compared to last year (77) and Bobby was doing some heavy lifting this Spring. (Good Lovin's, Lazy/Supp, Sampsons, etc.)

The opening “Half Step” here is kinda extra. Sounds like it could have been a Set 2 pre Rhythm Devils/Drums track. Lots of energy and improvisation. The entire Box Set sounds sweet spot crispy. Glad I own my one of 10K.
