    Fox theatre

    Saw Jerry and the band at the Fox in Atlanta in April, 80. What a fantastic venue for a Dead show. The sun set, the band came on, the planetarium there is so cool. We left the atmosphere about third or 4th song, went out into deep space and came back, reentered the ozone and touched down right as the sun was about to rise. What a show and cemented my seat on the bus. Anyone else seen a dead show at the Fox?

    Decent show, good energy, like the set list, but the distortion is terrible!
    I’m with some others here: think 4/12is a much better played and sounding show, but I like 4/13 better? Weird?

    Nice story 1stshow!
    Those ones we missed it by this much…still drive me crazy!
    Hell, probably more so now!

    The Red Rocks show I almost saw and heard some of from the parking lot, lol. I think this was when I was managing a pizza delivery place and could not get the day off, then it slowed down and I got my asst. mgr. in training to cover for me and raced down to Morrison from Ft. Collins to catch what I could. Ended up doing a big favor for a fighting couple who would not take the same car home. I gave her and another girl a ride home. Big favor as they eventually married. Kindness or missed opportunity, I'm not sure which, lol.
    Cheers
    I see why BC likes this 1st set! My original tape from the 90s of this had bad sound quality so the Normanized version is a huge improvement.
    Both this show and 7-8 had some major equipment issues and lots of delays which are gone now in the box release. But they made it right and it was the most amazing show I ever attended. Those Red Rocks have superb acoustics!

TN John - very cool! (a bc bday show not that I was there.) my FOTDs box set is crossing the Great Basin right now (i think) based on tracking. Hopefully by Tuesday next week.

6/14/94 - iwt and got here listening today via a circuitous route of JOTM (from 3/11/93 Rosemont) drive home last night which has a late period Masterpiece and this morning (gestures wildly) somehow saw the set list here and thinking "wow" I saw a Masterpiece in 94. And from there Set I etc. Very unusual set list Set II and a really fun and fine well played show. Posting now because Set II leads off with 45 second structured drumz intro to Victim and it caught my ears as something I had "never" heard (despite being there!) Victim into Lazy River Road. And then the second Samba In The Rain, which I will unabashedly say sounded great that night, totally new to me, and strong cool memory of Phil/Bob/Jerry/Vince singing the chorus and it rocked. Samba > Trucking > and a super chill That Would Be Something into drumz. Those late era shows in Seattle Memorial Coliseum kicked it.

At the risk of joining said society, I like the points you made, Daverock. I'm thinking of some live Quicksilver I had on cassette - absolutely ferocious playing, but the recording was not up to modern standards. Eminently listenable, though, and it broadened my mind to what that group was capable of. Or that Pink Floyd stuff from early '72, some early Doors stuff... that early '67 Thirteenth Floor Elevators concert (I think it later got released properly)...

So those Sept 1970 Fillmore recordings, what exists of them, should absolutely be made available to the public after Dr. Norman takes his best shot. "What's to lose / We're NOT confused/ You can call this set / The Fillmore East blues."

Live At The Roxy (Hollywood - 5/26/76)

Been thinking for awhile that I need to upgrade my system in certain key points. Slowly making my way to that move. Thanks for sharing ConeKid.
