the tour story:
New Haven was always a cool place for Dead shows. At this point in the early 1980's they were doing two night runs in New Haven almost every East Coast tour. This was to be their last year at the Veterans Memorial Coliseum, which was one of those venerable concrete structures built by American cities across the Northern Industrial belt in the late 1950's and early 1960's.Tom and I drove from Syracuse as he had some school stuff to attend to between Philly and these shows. Kidwell met back up with us after skipping Philly. The Virginia crew was there, Long Island with JJ Hance et al. We had at least 10 people in our hotel room and I recall being challenged by security several times with Tom being the person who finally negotiated truce with them and we quieted down by 5 AM or so.
The show was solid, not unusual, a bit ragged for both Jerry and Bob's vocals being near the end of the tour. This posting of the binaurals is set one only as we cannot locate the set 2 tape, but we will upload the Beyer M201 source which will be both sets. A tuning it up Jack Straw opener led into a nice, slow Sugaree, Garcia flubs a few words at the start and the crowd cheers when he gets back on the line. This version reminds me of the late Seventies to early Eighties JGB deliberate, long guitar solo Sugaree renditions. This and the Cassidy which follows are probably the highlights of the short six song set.
After the show, at the above mentioned hotel, Sean and I had a rather crazy idea to drive all the way back to NYC and buy him a D5, or Sony TCD5M, the full size cassette recorder many of the GD tapers preferred. We talked about it for a while and convinced ourselves to do it. We needed tapes for about 4 decks all the rest of the tour and figured we would go there, buy the tapes and get a deck for Sean. This is an example of hard core Deadhead taping mentality- we were scheduled to be back in the NYC area one week, 4 shows later for the Nassau run, but Sean decided he just HAD to get it, and we were going to need tapes anyway.......
We left Gary, Sean's tour partner, with Greg and Tom, headed in to the city with a bunch of cash and a wild hair. Sean can tell the story of the lady in the diner challenging him that he couldn't eat two huge plates of pancakes all at once- he did! I had been buying quite a lot of tapes at Uncle Steves on Houston over the past few months so we drove there. After ordering up a deck and paying for it, they decided they were out of stock on the Sony decks, but we had also ordered about 100 tapes, and after refunding us for the deck, they forgot to charge us for the tapes. We walked out of the store paying about $12 for the 100 tapes! This included 3-4 boxes of the infamous TDK MAR90 metal shell, metal oxide tape design which doesn't hold up as well as the regular plastic shell in my opinion. So we get out of Uncle Steves with 100 free tapes or the "Steal of a Deal" as Sean called it and headed uptown to J&R Music on 33rd street. We basically ran in, purchased the Sony deck for $450 and walked out 15 minutes later. We cruised the 90 miles back to New Haven making it in time for the show. Sean has two masters of that April 24th show, one from his Sony TCD8 and one from his new D5.
