Set 1: Feel Like A Stranger, Friend Of The Devil, New Minglewood Blues, Tennessee Jed, Cassidy, It Must Have Been The Roses, On The Road Again > Beat It On Down The Line, Stagger Lee, I Need A Miracle > Bertha Lord knows I've let my ears dabble back into this tape many times. I'm not sure why I didn't get to reviewing this date earlier. In an odd way it felt like I was listening to the music through a thick clouded glass window. I had a mixed listening experience, not because the actual show was disappointing, but probably because returning to the Dead's music after so long kicked up a significant amount of dust. So 8/10/82 was the first show I loaded onto my iPod. Yet when I saw this date, I remembered a wonderful Eyes of the World, and a delicious sound quality to the recording. The ability to look at a tape or CD and instantly recall the musical memory of its highlights was nearly extinguished. In my time away, my mind had gotten very fuzzy regarding the Dead's musical history. It made no sense-I'm a 1973 fan through and through-but for some reason, after many years away from the Dead's music, this date was the first to call to me as I stared at my wall of CDs. Augwas actually the very first tape I pulled out when I decided to begin the Dead Listening project.
