I was never one to go gaga when the Grateful Dead performed Gloria, but I was listening to 11-3-84 at the Berkeley Community Theatre last night on the way home and found it to be quite pleasant. I immediately set out on a plan to share it with you here.
Shows at the Community Theatre always seem, to me, to be the closest the Dead ever got to playing a house party in the 80s. It's an indoor venue in their backyard and on this particular evening, they were in a bit of a spunky mood, pulling out this nice Gloria, Why Don't We Do it in The Road, the first Meet Me in the Bottom and a pre-drumz jam that had Jerry noodling around with Dear Prudence without quite crossing the Rubicon.
Enjoy!
