This show doesn't get the credit it deserves
This was a great show it's just overshadowed by the next night.
The "Stir It Up" was a classic Grateful Dead moment. Once you heard the singing you knew they didn't really know the song at all, they were just giving it a shot. What other band gets up infront of thousands of people and tries to do a song they don't know?
The second set is bad ass, lots of energy.
Now I was in the hallway on Phil's side of the stage, there was a stairway with two sets of PA cabinets on each side. And you had the big widows too. During the post drums there was lightning coming dow right in time with the music, everybody in the hallway was howling. After a while I noticed a red headed gal sitting against the windows was looking around kind of self-consciously. Finally she turned around and heard the crowd scream when A bolt of lighting came down. She turned around and it looked like she was say "ooohhh I get it" this gal then looked right at me and gave me the Gene Simmons scary tounge face. It was hysterical.
I'd also like to thank Neal Cavezza for sitting on my glasses that morning so I couldn't see farther than 2 feet infront of me for these shows, putz!

Hello Sal
I would like to say yourmost welcome , but that unforgettable moment of crunching lenses should not overshadow how we safely arrived (myself,tony,jay,yourself,am i forgetting someone>?)with tickets from some peps in VA that I believe aquired on a nitrous run ! These shows changed many people , in how they looked at the DEAD and family !
Lovely!
This was indeed a magical venue and probably the best 3 night run of any music I've ever experienced.
The weather was perfect and the scene was so mellow and filled with such a lovely happening of the usual parking lot fun.
I was also a hallway dancer every now and again! I loved it when they put those speakers in the hallway on Phil's side. I always found myself on that side of the Colliseum so I could always jump out in to the hallway if I was feeling the need to cut loose!
If you are interested, I wrote more comments on the pictures I posted for this show. Does anyone remember the rainbow in the clear blue sky that day? See my picture for proof!

agree with msg74
The second set just crackles with energy, actually the whole show is just smokin good and extremely well played.
The China>Rider was explosive as I had ever witnessed or heard.
Loved the Stir it up effort, and Bob fully redeemed by bringing the house down with Memphis Blues.
Many fans dont like '88 as there was not much exploratory work, but the way they plowed through songs with such energy and passion (and extreme marksmanship IMHO) was ok by me!
Some shows you just never ever forget.
