Road Trips, Vol. 3 No. 4: Penn State-Cornell '80 (3CD) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I should start out by saying that I find the performances very good but the problem with this release is that the tape speed wasn't corrected and, as a result, the songs all run slow by about 3.2% which is alot. These shows were taken from standard cassettes make on a tape deck that ran slow. All the songs are played strongly in my humble opinion and, if this was adjusted to the right speed, it would get 5 stars. One major plus is that there's NO BONUS DISC with this one so if you don't have the money upon first release, there's nothing to miss. Another major plus is that you can hear all the instruments quite well in the mix (including Brent's Keyboards).

Road Trips, Vol. 3, No. 4 combines two back-to-back college shows in a 3-CD set. The Dead performed dynamic versions of a number of favorites on May 6, 1980, at Penn State and May 7, 1980, at Cornell University. Every instrument has its place in the wide stereo spread of these two performances.
