This was my comment on the "Brokedown Palace" encore, published in UPFRONT magazine many, many years later... "There was a night at Winterland in the mid-1970s when, called back by the hometown crowd for an encore, the Dead unveiled "Brokedown Palace". Instead of the usual shouts and whoops of recognition from the thousands of hard-core Deadheads, there was something akin to a huge, collective sigh. For a moment the opening notes of the song hung over the near-silent crowd as if suspended in time; such perfect moments rarely come along in life, and they're never meant to last."

Listened through the side doors, remember hearing Sugaree, sounded good even out on the street.
