This is the first show of a three show run at the Greek Theater, in Berkeley, CA. This is the Grateful Dead playing for a home town crowd. In front of a massive Tye Die background. This three show run is one of the best of the early eighties, and they didn't repeat a song in three shows. This was a Friday night show. It is shorter than the two that followed but it does not lack intensity.
The second set is of note in that from the starting notes of Playin In the Band on they dont stop for the whole 2nd set linking all these songs together as if it were just one long piece of music. This some say is one of the best Playin > Uncle John's Band ever. I was there and I'll tell you it was a night to remember. The quality of the recording is excelent as well. It has long been one of my favorites.
