These reviews are from the soundboard:
REVIEW: great show! good sound!
SMOKIN CASSIDY!!!
REVIEW: Feels Like Rock n’ Roll
This Feel Like a Stranger is so good…Jerry simply tears it up.Good show overall as well, the Aud here of
the whole thing is worthy. Sound is good on this first set board.
REVIEW: OH YOU KNOW???!!!??
The Peggy-o and Althea sound amazing. Very clean sounding and no flubs, which is always grate.
China-Rider is good as well.

REVIEW: Must Have 1980
This show gets lost because of the great shows surrounding this one. The recording is stellar- what else
would you expect from Charlie Miller? And then there’s Jerry who is on fire all night. It’s hard to pick
highlights because almost every song is well played but I will try: The Supplication jam is the real deal,
Estimated/Eyes is played with gusto and this may be my favorite version of Going Down the Road with
razor sharp solos by Jerry. The whole run from 8/30 to 9/6 is one of the band’s finest.

REVIEW: Primo FOB, Primo Show
Concur. Excellent recording. And one smoking hot show. This was actually one of the very first bootlegs
I had and it totally blew me away– then and now– despite listening to the whole show almost more times
than I can count (minus the Good Lovin and U.S. Blues, which didn’t make it onto my tapes).
Steve, excellent, excellent job. Charlie — you aren’t putting subliminal stuff in or anything, are you???? I
mean, because I now run searches for your stuff. It is like I am totally addicted — to quality, I guess.
Thanks man.
These reviews are from other auds:
REVIEW: Underestimated Prophet
The most underrated show I have ever been too.
REVIEW: Frantic
I nearly went into cardiac arrest listening to Eyes. The cocaine must’ve been exceptional that night.
REVIEW: Good Ole Providence…
…where the cops hassle you and the band plays great shows. I’ve never heard a bad show in Providence
and haven’t heard a lousy show recording of those I didn’t attend. Seems sort of like Maine, they play
there rarely and the relatively small space at the time (14-16,000) is size wise close to Augusta.

REVIEW: Listen to Jerry Howl
This is a very solid show. And to think, they still had the Faigrounds show. I love the 80’s
