Wasn't at this show but it is one of my all time favorite tapes!
Wow, What a show. The half step is one of the best. the whole show is tight tight. Big Railroad, To Lay Me Down! I had this cassette in my car for years. I mean in the player - playing.

Best show of all time!
Dougles, I was at this one and have to say, of the 131 shows I had seen, this was IT.
It could have been that I was happy to be there, as our car had broken down in Austin days earlier, we were robbed at gunpoint by the tow truck "guys" and hitched up th K.C. having missed Jerry's B-Day.
It could be that I was handed a ticket by a lovely couple who was running late. They asked why I was the only one listening from the outside of the gate. Anyway, ran in just in time for Peggy-O. (Wherever you two are, I hope your well)
It could be that this theater is unbelievably beuatiful......
Or It could be that the boys were just really, really on.
Show put me on the bus for life
Unbelievable. Man Smart rocking over into this sweet Might as Well. The Shakedown tore the roof off - or the stars in this case. One of the most powerful nights of my life. I was then a rookie, but jesus god, not for long. Went home that night to Columbia MO to the Columns Quad at the University and wandered around til dawn letting that unreal To Lay Me Down reverb in my head.
One of my favorites
Over 200 shows and this one was one of the best. Look at the first set! Amazingly hot show (both temp and playing).
Indeed a killer night.
Indeed a killer night. Great dancin' on near stage left under a sort of vine (?) covered-alley. Who ever was that sweet girl staring me down, sorry, I should have invited you into my space ... regrets. But a great night.
couldn't agree more
of my 150+ shows this was certainly one of the most memorable, ever. unbelievably tight show and to top it off with Casey Jones was just perfect. still grinning from this show. what a beautiful night it was, too at the Starlight
Starlight 8/3/82
Does anyone have a copy of this show??? One of my top 5.
Stranger and stranger
Review is of the show yet.... I love this show everything about it the entire day was fun.From the wild colors in the sky to song selection to the beauty of this venue. This is where it comes full circle though.Living in mass and being sober for sometime now I had a flash back to this year and show. I was over on Nantucket year or so with bunch of my friends putting on an A A commitment. While sitting there listening to one of my group members he told a short story of living in Missouri and having work concession way back when he first started drinking. To amuse myself and him I asked have you ever been to the Starlight Theater? His reply is that's where I worked concessions. Now I was a bit freaked asked him if he remembered that the dead played there ? He remembers everything about it.How wild is it that so many years later and so many times that had been in his presence and never knew he lived in the Midwest and never would of EVER in my wildest dreams have thought he would even know of the starlight Theater let alone worked the concession stand that day??? Still blows me away how we are all connected in this so called small world of ours. Love and good fortune to all.
Miss you Gina. everyday
Best Show of 121 - 1979 thru 95- Really Should Be a Dave's Pick
This show is the one. My favorite of 121 I took part in from 1/79 thru 7/95 This is the only GD show I saw where I liked the first set better than the second set. And the second set is great!! The evening was so magical under the full moon and stars on a warm summer night. The Starlight Theatre is a small outdoor ampitheatre in the park with no cover over the audience. The Mississippi Half Step/Franklin's Tower transition jam is truly incredible. Background theme music for my life. There is no better version of Franklin's Tower out there. This is the definitive version. I remember the sound in the venue during this one was just amazing. Big Railroad Blues is also the best version I've heard. The tone on Jerry's guitar! So clean. So fine. It defines Tiger and how fine that guitar sounded before MIDI sound changed everything. Same with Peggy-O. I haven't heard a more beautiful version. The band truly sparkled that night. The Let It Grow in the second set before drums is also one of the most amazing versions out there. Check out Jerry's last big lead break in the song. He is sizzling and so ON it. The musical definition of lightning bolts blazing in the sky. The audience cheers loudly for it after it ends. And the Stella Blue!! On this night Jerry gives it his all in the end jam. As good as it gets. So delicate and beautiful, yet so powerful. It sparkled like a diamond. It was truly a magical moment at the venue. Everyone standing amazed in silence, listening to the beauty. I can't find a version from the 80s that I like better. I came to realize at that moment that this was the magic. The end jams on Stella Blue, Morning Dew, Black Peter, Comes A Time, Wharf Rat, China Doll. That was the magic time. That moment was the gold ring that I was reaching for.
I love it
