The only times I saw the band in California was this 2-night stand at Golden Hall. This was a great show - better than the night before. The cops insisted on hassling us for playing Frisbee while we waited to get in, but the staff inside were super friendly. The place only held a couple thousand people (if that), and there was a nice bar out back that would gladly serve you a drink in an actual glass - that's the only time that happened for me at a Dead show. The crowd went nuts when they opened with China Cat and the I Know You Rider was ripping. An outstanding Sugar Mag to close. We went home happy......
