Those who say that '85 was not a good year have never heard this show or the show the night before at Merriweather Post.

Seeing this show and the next night at Blossom were the highlights of Summer '85 live. But, when the tapes surfaced....WHOAAAAAA! I've heard only cripsy SDB tapes of most of 85, but this show is one of the TOPS!
And if you were there, the naked lady on stage during Good Lovin' is a memory you can't forget.
PUSH BACK! PUSH BACK! PUSH BACK TONIGHT!

This show is fantastic!! My favorite Aiko,WharfRat, actually the 2nd set is just great. Pray Dick puts it on disc.

85' was the year for me. Jerry may burn out on a lyric or two here and there, but the man sure wasn't holdin' out on the jams. By the way. Whats up with Bobby on IKO. Save it for MAN SMART dude.

The 'He's Gone' ending is way cool with the echos

An incredible show on a great summer night. He's Gone and Wharf Rat were Jerry Magic. Went to Blossom the next night -- don't think there was any sleep in between, funny how that used to happen -- for a great back-to-back trip.

This was my first show! Rained like a motha! I still remeber the US BLUES! I danced in the rain and mud like I was at Woodstock!

I was just about 18 years old and this was my 1st show (out of about 25). I was blown away by the music and the crowd. I never knew such a scene still existed. Got hooked immediately and still am 25 years later. The jams still sound great to me and the songs endure. As great the jams can be, their song crafting is their most special talent.

This was my second show. It was the second and show for my ex. I seem to remember Bobby trying to raffle off the rhythm section and lightning on the river during Smokestack Lightning. My ex made me take her to see Barry Manilow to make up for it.

My first show and I was hooked. Perfect venue, Perfect sound and everyone was dancing crazy!
The peanut butter/banana sandwich and acid in the parking lot before the show was the bomb and the rain fallin' down, rain fallin' down throughout was killer.....

Merriweather was 6 days later, not the night before. But that's just splitting hairs really. Summer '85 was solid...
