How I managed to convince my mum to let me go to East Troy,WI to see the dead (twice!) is beyond me. Wow do I ever love what the internet has given us deadheads! This was my first dead show. I rate shows based on era, and even though this one lies in the midst of the very strong 81-83 period, I'm going to give it four stars. Unfortunately I cant comment much on sound because I'm listening on crappy speakers, but from what I can tell it sounds good. Some excellent later readings are MSG 9-19-90, again in a rare second set appearance and 3-10-93 Rosemont Horizon, a juicy version with just Vince. ![]() Some others from the eighties that deserve attention are 8-28-81 Long Beach and the famous second set monster from 9-11-83 in Santa Fe. This show also features a showcase performance of Let It Grow. Obvious highlights are the opening trio, love this combo Althea a hoppin China>Rider to open the second set spacey Playin'>Wheel sandwich and solid Dew>Saturday Night closer. There's nothing really mindblowing here, but the boys are playing well and the setlist has a nice flow to it. ![]() That must've been a fun tour to be on as they play some cool venues and the month is brimming with good shows. Yet another classic performance from August of '82.
