Grateful Dead — March 29, 1984 | Marin ’84 Night Two | Rex Foundation Benefit Fireplace Log

🌹 Grateful Dead — March 29, 1984 Marin County Veterans Memorial Auditorium — San Rafael, CA Marin ’84 Night Two | Rex Foundation Benefit | Audience Recording (AUD) Night Two in Marin. After the warm hometown opening night, March 29, 1984 finds the band settling deeper into the room — relaxed, confident, and clearly enjoying the intimacy of the Marin Veterans Memorial Auditorium. With fewer than 2,000 seats, the Marin Vet created a rare mid-80s setting where every note felt close and conversational, more gathering than concert. These shows also continued the newly launched Rex Foundation benefit run, blending music and community in a way that perfectly reflected the Dead’s extended family spirit. Set One opens playfully with “Walking The Dog,” immediately signaling a loose, good-humored night. A lively “Bertha Promised Land” keeps the momentum rolling before the mood softens beautifully with “It Must Have Been The Roses.” The band stretches out during “Bird Song,” one of the evening’s early highlights — patient, spacious, and deeply melodic — before closing the set strong with “My Brother Esau” and “Might As Well.” By Set Two, the exploratory switch flips. A deep-grooving “Shakedown Street” anchors the opening before flowing seamlessly into “Estimated Prophet Eyes Of The World,” a pairing that captures the band’s mid-80s rhythmic confidence and improvisational patience. The transition into Drums Space opens wide sonic territory, leading unexpectedly into a rare and atmospheric Spanish Jam, which gradually evolves into a powerful “The Other One.” From there, the emotional arc lands gently with “Wharf Rat,” before the band lifts the room back into celebration with “Sugar Magnolia.” Encore: “Keep Your Day Job” — upbeat, playful, and very much in the spirit of this hometown run. Night Two feels deeper and more exploratory than the opener — the band fully inside the space now, stretching comfortably while the Marin audience rides every turn. 🎙 Source Information Bill Bradt’s Master Audience Cassettes Neumann KM84i microphones Sony D5M (Maxell UDXL-IIS) Transfer Chain: Nakamichi CR-7A → Tascam DA-3000 (DSF 1-bit / 5.6 MHz) Tascam Hi-Res Editor (24/96 wav) → Adobe Audition CC 2026 → TLH flac2496 Mastered by Scott Clugston — January 2026 Special thanks to Bill Bradt (RIP), Kathy Weir Bradt, Charlie Miller, and Chris Hecht for preservation and transfer work.
