Close Encounters of the 85' Kind  (9/9/2026 9:45:40 AM)

Did anybody else notice the Close Encounters quote coming back at the end of Touch of Grey? I just listened to Eugene 78', so I was shocked to hear it again.

This show isn’t as bad as some here are reviewing it. The recording is a bit of a mess at parts and yeah Jerry is hoarse but it’s still enjoyable.

Even a stinker like this has a fantastic Bird Song on it!

Not the best - I guess when you’re building a complete archive, you gotta include the stinkers too.

Jerry sounds about 3/4 dead here, yikes

The night prior was such a fun show, that this one is a bit of a shocker. I mean that . This one is, too - BEW is very fancy for 1985. And that first set on paper is about as good as it gets, unfurtunatelu

Jeez, what happened? After delivering a fine show the night before the band sounds completely discombobulated throughout this dumpster fire. This one is so rough the tape containing it sounds like it wants to self-destruct. * No keepers here.

Jerry sounds like he’s halfway into the coma that doesn’t happen until ‘86. Everyone’s performances are a mess. Whatever drugs they were taking in ‘85 weren’t helping.
