Pacific Alliance Benefit - "Stop Nuclear Power"
Ear-candy Holwein tape (great LL>S) with the sweet sound that comes from a classic theater.
Built in 1931 and designed in the Mission Revival style reminiscent of a colonial Spanish town featuring a fountain and villas, the 2,000-seat Arlington Theatre was originally a showcase movie house for Fox West Coast Theaters. It was restored and expanded in the mid-1970s by Metropolitan Theaters Corporation. It opened in its current incarnation in 1976.
Archive reviewer sugareesupreme was also impressed with the Millerized board:
"Hard for me to give less than four stars to a beautifully sounding board (I'm not too picky) with Jerry not in his 83-86 slump. It's the Dead - off-nights beat anything else going on in town. That being said, the second set sounds a bit like a rehearsal. The Dancin' never really gels and the narrator in Wharf Rat never gets to Fly Away. Truckin' peaks nicely but watch out for the coitus interuptus with the encore - Sugar Mag cuts out prior to climax. First set has its moments. I've been listening to this January California tour to see where they picked up after '77. Jerry was vocally challenged the whole time, but setting that aside, they really don't seem like the same band that burned down the house the previous year. Still, I get nostalgic thinking about them winding their way, really for the last time, through those cow towns like San Bernadino, Bakersfield, Stockton, etc. that they'd grown up playing but would not soon revisit."
