From the comments section of Dead.net:
The show was held at William & Mary College in Williamsburg, VA. If you've never been, Williamsburg is a restored colonial town for the tourists -- everywhere you look is ye olde candle maker and the town crier. This was before the insane mid-80s outburst of MTV Deadheads, but even so, the Deadheads took over the town in our own friendly way. Walk in to ye olde ice cream parlor, and there are Deadheads helping the counter help apply extra whipped cream to sundaes, and discreetly breaking up mushrooms in to their milkshakes.
To add to the adventure, it turns out that besides being income tax day (April 15) it was also parent visitation day at William & Mary. A beautiful crisp spring day as the sun went down. Suddenly someone appeared in the parking lot with a large bag of rather gigantic blotters for sale at very low prices. The rumor was always that the band was connected in some way to this. Who knows?
Inside, the stage was VERY low to the floor -- maybe a foot off the ground, making for a very intimate setting. The ushers were all college students, and it was refreshing to see that no matter how wasted we were, they were more wasted. John Scher, the east-coast's answer to Bill Graham tried to get us to calm down and move back from the speaker towers, while spaced out ushers tried to whip us up in to a frenzy with their flashlights. Those who could still talk when the second set started saw Billy and Mickey come out and start swinging their arms back and forth and spinning on their stools before the show even started -- like two wrestlers getting ready to grapple.
The rest of the show speaks for itself in a dozen crackling ways, especialy the Drums (featuring the ENTIRE band in those days, all playing various percussion instruments) and Morning Dew. When they played Around and Around, we really DID believe that they would "never stop rocking" -- they're going to play all night! Well, no not exactly.
I DO miss the One More Saturday Night encore on many tapes in circulation. The band came out and Bobby said, "Guess what night it is?" and our busy little minds scrambled..."Uh... New Years? Halloween? Someone's birthday?" No, it's SATURDAY NIGHT. Whee! No room here to tell you how after the show with our faces painted day-glo we wound up at Camp Perry Marine Base instead of our campground. (Camp Perry also being a CIA training center). The nice guard with his nice shiney boots and nice rifle showed remarkable restraint, and pointed us toward our campground. OK? OK. Glen

I heard that the parents were not pleased and that people on the events committee lost their jobs over it, but that may have just been a tour rumor.

The Compendium has never been
The Compendium has never been the holy grail of reviews imo.
I was at both shows.
> especially the Drums (featuring the ENTIRE band in those days, all playing various percussion instruments)... not only were all the band members engaged Mickey must have open his "toy box" as they passed our shakers, tambourines and other items to folks side stage and behind. Over the years it seems that most folks overlooked the Let it Grow imo, nice to see that version get some props. At times it was a little sloppy but it's the GD so it doesn't kill the energy necessarily and at times drives a fun roller coaster ride. Binghamton the previous fall was all over the place but was as much fun and exciting as it gets. No question they found that special energy/tension they could muster up and before the Playin jam ended I told my buddy we are going to get a Dew tonight.
Pittsburg left no particular memories except trying to figure out who the guest was for the encore for a moment when Weir came out with a werewolf mask on

The Scarlet > Dancing on disc
The Scarlet > Dancing on disc 3 is nice and the only time they played it that way. According to deadbase the only other time dancing followed scarlet was 6/3/76 but that was Scarlet, Dancing.
