G.D. 1980 release ! ... " Go To ... Nassau !!! " The Grateful Dead 'Live' in New York ! - on the 1980 " Go To Heaven " Tour ... ' Turfing ' Long Island " Hard ! " with Early '80's !! Live-Dead !!! " Go To Nassau !!! " ... What a Grate ! release title, so very-fantastic indeed - all circumstance rightfully considered ! Well, that sure is what the Grateful Dead do at these Shows - and do Real-Well ! - on this Late-Spring Tour run from '80 -- they completely Hammer-It !!! This 2-CD Set came out well over 20-Years-Ago ! now here today ( unbelievably ... as where does the time-go ?!? ), and I distinctly remember thinking way back then " Wow !?! " - is this like the 1st ' Live ' release we've seen of 1980 Grateful Dead since the " Dead Set ! " & " Reckoning ! " releases ( from Radio City & The Warfield ) way back in '81 ?? And, I think I was exactly correct in my initial thinking ! I mean come on now powers at be -- Where's that " West High " release ? ... Sugaree !!! Well hey & you know what - this came out in 2002, and until just a few years ago when the Penn State / Ithaca '80 Road Trips came out, I think that was it for like another 10 years ?? Whoa ! Well, at least 2013 closed nicely for us rabid G.D. '80's Fans, because we finally did get yet-another ... the Fox Theatre in Atlanta, GA ! What's with it ! - I mean we all just love our '80 Dead, right ? I guess now we will just have to wait patiently, and be 'good ' Dead Fans ... until that Massive !!! " Warfield / Radio City Super-( Dream )-Box-Set " comes out, right ? Right ?? Hint-Hint ! ' Friendly ' -Reminder !? Right On !!! Hah ! ... Sunshine Daydream !! I mean here we are just breaking into the '80's Zone here, and Brent is just starting to get nice & comfy - while a lot of material goes down-tempo ( with just-a-hair-lower tunings ) for much more power & tone-strength ... & that patented '80's " Dead-Growl ! ". The more tone-strength, the better ! At least to this Dead Fans ears - I mean ... give me some more ' Boss ! ' - from " The Boss !! ". The stuff us ' certain ' type of Deadheads ( '80's Deadheads ! ) are just rabid for ! - and also, basically Live-For !! I ( and many others I know ) can just never get enough of the ' Lewiston-Show ', and we poke right around through all the May through Oct '80 Shows Hunting ! for all of those missing " Moments of Magic ! " that just need to find us. But on a serious ( much more serious ) note, that's exactly what these 5/15/80 & 5/16/80 Shows do - performed before a feisty Long Island, New York crowd ! Uniondale, New York - Rock & Roll !! These Shows are ' All-Business ' and offer some seriously Heavy-Duty - Down & Dirty Rock 'n Roll !! Oh, and I might as well add it at this time too ... JERRY GARCIA !!! -- Fret-Board-HEAT !! Plus, don't you just have to Love ! the " Arista " label days ? ... I mean - " Go To Heaven !!! ". Just check out the material that your Ears, Mind & Smile ! ( Smile !! - Smile !!! ) are Treated-To on this Very-Fine '80 Grateful Dead release >>> Far From Me - Stranger - Althea - Sailor > Saint & Alabama all settling in to their rightful places in the Dead Sets !
