Blues for Sadat
This was a spooky one. Egypt's president, Anwar Sadat was ambuished that afternoon during a military review and what would have been the finale of a fairly triumphant four night run at the Rainbow in Finsbury Park turned a little heavy.
Interestingly, the show was pretty buoyant through the 2nd set opener, Women are Smarter, and they even dusted off Cumberland. But this was one for the ages. I have an old hand held tape and you can hear the air leave the building from High Times on - it gets real deep. Jerry's vocal and playing on He's Gone, and the following chorus into drums / space are breathtaking. Phil tonal work was never better. Blues for Allah into the Wheel still is the most affecting Dead performance I ever witnessed. After a brief return to the surface with Sugar, the vessel submerges once more to a sparse and breathless Stella. Couple more live ones to get the pulse back and then Brokendown caps it.
If this one is in the vault, I sure hope they put it out as a Dick's Picks sometime soon. To me, this show is the highlight of my Dead live experience.

Picked this 1
Almost every morning I pick a show to listen to on the Internet archives today was this one. Sitting back in room eating bowl of Frosted flakes and wrapping up 1st set. Dam fine show so far, been along time sense checked out this one. Wont disappoint if others check it out.
so good
Well this looks promising, I am sure a lot of people would be happy to hear this set. Especially people who love the 80-90s collection would surely love these tracks. Do hear them they are worthy of the time spend.
