Grateful Dead

It's good to hear a soundboard of this show: I've had an audience recording forever. Bruce Hornsby and the Range opened the day. Jerry acknowledged Bruce later when he came out with his accordion and played along during Sugaree and Memphis Blues. It was so hot out that day, my Heineken would be warm in less than 2 minutes!

What a way to start a new week.I am loving Jerry on pedal steel. Hot Stuff.DEAD FOREVER , FOREVER DEAD......... THANKS AGAIN !!!

the accordian. Almost never liked it. Super goofy.

I was there. It was indeed hot. The show was excellent. A perfectly executed first set. Hornsby sitting in was such a treat. These early readings of Foolish Heart, Victim and Blow Away were well played. One of the greatest moments was the crowd reaction to Victim in the second set. The mood went from happy and festive to dark. The lysergic influenced tension was an act of genius. As a thematic element, the use of tension and release at this show for song choice and placement and how it affected the crowd was the first and last time I'd see something like that out of my 11 years of going to shows. Even at this later point in their career, at a time where they were more known to play it safe while Garcia recovered from his coma, they could still control the crowd emotionally through auditory means.

I am about 45 minutes drive from Buckeye Lake and can only imagine what a scene that must have been The following night in Pittsburgh ~ 6.26.88 is also very nice , both sets are primo Hook up another mid to late 80's box set Rhino !!!!

I always love the long jams in lovelight.

I believe that the first attempt at this duo happened on 5/8/84.
