This was a really good night, the main drag was people were expecting Darkstar to fall from the rafters every other note. Tickets were available for sale at the box office, thank you for a stealth show at this point in your career Grateful Dead. The opening Help>Slip>Franklin's was really nice, and it was good to hear Same Thing on the East Coast. Bruce was really amped up in the sound and almost seemed to be the band leader for the night. Jerry had a music stand out for So Many Roads with what I guess were the lyrics for that song. The big highlights of the night were Eyes and Jack A Roe. Regardless of this night, if you can't marry Hampton at least have it as a mistress.

This was a bit better than the next night. My friends and I made it to the 5th or 6th row on Phil's side, and we were treated to some absolutely marvelous interaction between Jerry and Bruce during the Slipknot! as they traded licks back and forth towards the end of the jam. My friend Priscilla said "Look! It's Bobby's ass, and it's RIGHT THERE!" when he turned around and shook it like he'd sometimes do when he was playing the opening riff to one of his tunes. She was more impressed than I was.
