I eventually owned hundreds of bootleg tapes of Grateful Dead concerts, but this was my first.
Enjoy.

If we’re doing firsts – here’s the first Aphex Twin track I ever heard, thanks to the short-lived MARS-FM:
nice Booman. that was a great show.
my first GD tape was 9/6/80, acquired only a few weeks after that show, and like yours the first of hundreds. Mostly now replaced on CDs. I still have several dozen cassettes, but no working cassette player 🙁
ditto, lots of tapes and no working player…. who know’s if they still work.
I was able to obtain 1 Tb of soundboards/audience in digital form (flac’s and mp3’s) from a friend who let me copy his harddrive. I have it wired up through the XBMC player and it is sweet to browse for shows in HD and play anywhere in the house.
