Dick's Picks Vol. 13-Nassau Coliseum, Uniondale, NY 5/6/81 (3-CD Set)

This show, which appears here in its entirety, was already something of a legend among Dead collectors before archivist Dick Latvala selected it for Dick s Picks Vol. 13. Only the second concert (at the time) from the 80s to be tapped for the series, it was (and is) widely regarded to be among the best performances of the decade, particularly notable for a stunning second-set sequence featuring He s Gone leading into the last-ever performance of the Caution Jam, which then morphed into the first performance of the Spanish Jam in five years. A real high point of the era. But before that, you are treated to a hidden (and fiery) 35-minute version of Scarlet Begonias / Fire on the Mountain from a show at the same venue hailing from 1979, as well as a very tight first set winding up with a rollicking Deal! A good one for fans of Brent Mydland, too. Out of print for years!
