Saw this show--my first Dead show. Energy was super high and they played a LONG time. All I can say is it was truly magical. Hard to keep your feet on the ground.

Very unique Scarlet/Fire. Get it!

First show, hardly any idea what I was seeing. Recognized FOTD that was about it.

Knew something about the setlist seemed unusual: one of only 2 shows with China Cat > Rider, Scarlet > Fire, and Estimated > Eyes. I was definitely not there, but these 80's Greek shows have a home-base feel about them. Great Tiger tones from Jerry throughout. OMNS is a nice surprise at the "go fast" moment in A&A.

Fall '81 may not reach the heights of Spring (09/26 is a strong rebuke though), but this gig shows that it can get deep and jam with the best of them. Shakedown, El Paso, Bird Song -> Cassidy, Jed, and the whole second set rips. Special shoutout to Eyes, NFA -> Wharf Rat and a great Baby Blue. Enjoy, then pass it along to a friend.

My 1st show was a year later (US Fest). I remember 2 long tunes that blew my brains out. My deadhead friends were unimpressed, but I was hooked
