What a great time those shows were.  Always loved  going to that place.

11/7-11/8/85 were tons of fun up in Rochester. A bunch of us camped out at johnnys house in heinreita. Not a lot of sleep between the two nights, Jerry in red trouble ahead

Hey Denny, are you taking about John Wood? We may have crossed paths back then.

Thought that date sounded rather East-y.

Nice Soundboard for the Mid-80's, good pitch and bass, got the Dew first and last of the Southern shows before heading into the Northeast.

Amazing 7 show run.

Totally nailed China Doll, one of the best of the decade.

That 2 night run was probably the best back to back shows I ever saw the band play.

this one mo bettah in my opinion....no I wasn't there

HOWEVER- I had the DAT sbd of set 2 for years- then this release came out.

Always comes up in the listening rotation every year------yeah man

^yeah, that whole show is amazing, with Comes a Time as the cherry on top

 

The night of thr endless Jerry ballads.

China not John wood, this John had a nice ranch house in the suburbs and grew real nice green in the basement. If you went to any Rocha chacha shows from 78-88 we may have crossed paths. 

I thought I had missed something, although 85 was a lean show year for me.

I don't think The Grateful Dead ever played Richmond, California.

First night has a wreckless carefree energy with interesting song choices, night 2 more "normal" but totally smokin. I've definitely listened to night 2 more in the age of torrenting/Archive.org
