The Tour Story:
Lake Acid! The Grateful Dead played in the rather small hockey arena which the United States beat the Russians
on their way to being Olympic gold medal winners at the 1980 Winter Olympics while earning its' not so illustrious knickname.
When the show was announced there was zero doubt that our crew would be there. There were at least 6 of our SU friends plus
plenty of other East coast friends at this Monday show. It was as if the weekend had been for the big city (Hartford CT)
and this day was for this little burg in upstate New York. Plenty of heads showed up but not too many casual fans ventured
up the Northway for this show. The notes on the tapes indicate this was the first time we ran the microphones on the dummy head
which we ran alongside the Beyers this evening. Although there were seats in the arena and we only had two floor tickets
we wound up getting ideal recording location for both recording rigs.

The first set is spectacular for the playing of a "standard" set list. Each song was deliberate not rushed. Bobby and Brent shine
with their new toys and listening back I found plenty of joy in these renditions of what would become typical first set fare.
The Sugaree is almost 30 minutes and the other 6 songs were almost as intense. The Birdsong is pretty and Brent's keyboards shine throughout.
Bob goes into the "Ride Sally Ride" screamout during the ending of Bucket. Of course then there is the second set with its' amazing
"To Lay Me Down" called by Greg between sets as he found us in our self selected seats. The Terrapin which followed was equally compelling
even if Jerry missed some lyrics. Bobby finished with a Good Lovin with the falsetto vocal then the "Push Back the Night" rap
-"Sometimes you can't see shit through all the haze". A solid show and this fall tour was putting the finish to an adventurous musical year for the band.
1983 saw them stretch out quite a bit with some new tunes, resurrecting some old tunes and adding some new instrumentation along with Brent
increasing his input vocal wise and playing wise.

Phil gave me two recollections, one which I had forgotten. Security was relatively slack but to our advantage a local deadhead girl
in a yellow security shirt and her boyfriend in his yellow shirt were letting anyone down onto the floor and protecting the heads
from the other security. They were High school aged but seemed to know what was going on, possibly having been to a Dead show previously.
The other recollection is that due to this we had taken advantage of the security seating and taping wise having set up with 3 guys
standing on the floor and three guys on chairs behind them so 6 people on 3 chairs with mic stands,decks and all.
Ultimately there was some room if I recall and these recordings seem to have some airiness to them indicating a decent acoustic
space with at least some distance between the audience and the microphones.
