The Grateful Dead - Dave's Picks Volume 8 [Fox Theatre, Atlanta, GA, 11/30/80]: 3.5 stars


The grade is only for the second set. I listened to this because of the fawning review in that long New Yorker article by Nick Paumgarten. It was fine (started out better than it finished). Because of this reaction, I never even listened to the first set, since even Paumgarten raved only about the second, as I remember. Given the B plus, for a live album by a band I'm not that crazy about, I'll pass on this. Costs a fortune anyway.
