The boys delivered a sensational night of music on this day in 1980, giving us one of those rare shows where the first set just might eclipse the second. For instance, just check out the beast of a Passenger and the set-closing Let It Grow> Deal. But the latter half, with its silky smooth China> Rider still gives the early going a good run for its money. Listen to the entire show and decide for yourself at Grateful Dead of the Day.
The Veneta show on the 27th casts its shadow over these 1972 Berkeley Community Theater dates, but this run has it all and then some, including the stunningly transcendent Dark Star> Morning Dew on this date. Listen to it all.
