First set was very tight. Sounded like the Grateful Dead again after several years of "searching for the sound" post-brent. second set started with the promising Here Comes Sunshine, and lost heart with a flubbed victim, and tepid Unbroken Chain>eyes. I recall space being very impressive, and post-drumz was full of heart. They really gave it their all on NFA. Brokedown was a bittersweet farewell. I'd always feared what was to come, although Jerry began to seem immortal and unstoppable. but such is life, and we have to face the reality in order to truly live.
My take on this, my final show, was that it was off the charts. I figured it would be an Unbroken Chain to begin the second set but they held us off for a couple of songs. I thought Victim was completely dreamlike and really set the stage for Unbroken Chain, which was Totally worth the wait! We were treated to another awesome Dayz Between also. Finally, Jerry broke out Brokedown Palace to finish the show and the west coast swing. In true Dead fashion, they picked the most poignant song to finish it for us all.
Every once in a while, I am nagged by those questions -- was it worth the money, was it worth the time? As I went back through my ticket stubs, verifying attendance at shows, my answer was clear ... if only I'd seen a few more while I could have!
Summer flies and August dies and the world grows dark and mean.. Thank you all so much! We had our cake and ate it too! There was nothing like a Grateful Dead concert!
Bravo Bravo!!!!
Bertha, Doodle! A capela H.C. Sunshine intro of 2nd set was pretty. The "Chain" was Epic (seriously!). Best Days Between EVER> This version of Brokedown rings in my head continually to this day (last show)....I told my So.cal friends i was leaving them to go on tour or it would me my last show. I pussed out. Ce La Vi!! Kick Ass last show!!!!

The good, the bad, and the goodbye.
