Summary: Boreal Ridge review


    I though this show was fairly mediocre.  I've only seen
about five Dead shows in the last year, but this was
far below par.  The equipment problems were not really that
severe, I just thought the dead, especially Jerry, were
not up to the occasion.  
    "slight parking problem" is an understatement.  It took
hours for some people to get out of the lot at Boreal
after the show.  The last Dead show the same promoters put
on, Grass Valley 9/18/83, also had a long unparking delay.
    The location and weather were fantastic.  The only
problem was it was very dusty anywhere near the front.
Reminds one of the Ventura county dust bowl.
     T-shirt stands and other concessions above average,
also, no shortage of facilities, so I would give whoever
staged this show maybe a B-minus overall.
