NFA Clap Is Born
Spellbinding 2nd set and I think this was the first time the NFA clap was used.
My First Show!
Still enjoy listening to this show. I never saw so many people in the place before or since, and I've probably been to 50 or so events in the arena over the years.
My first show too and one of my favorites.

This was my second show, they blew the roof off the place!
Chuck
First show
I didn't know many songs yet but the Terrapin made my spine tingle.
Not Fade Away in the Parking Lot
This was one of the earlier Not Fade Aways when the audience clapped along after the band had left the stage.
When the show let out the entire crowd continued to pound out the NFA by clapping with their hands and banging on every available wall, pillar, trash can... outside the hall is a second-floor atrium of sorts and people continued to beat out the beat on the railing... right up to the part where someone decided to jump from the second floor down to the street level -- almost always a bad idea.

1983
This was a good show, very good weather report i remember. I dont remember anyone jumping but i do remember that happening in 1979 because after that show the band was not very welcomed. Thats what it said in the paper anyway. I think 83 was the year they returned and it was a good time had by all. (except for the person who jumped anyway)
Yes. The jumping was in 1979.
I was going to high school in the area then. It was in the papers. I was into the Dead and really wanted to attend, but was forced to wait until college to start going to shows.
Gee Whiz
What an amazing set list. I wish I had known the songs at that point in my deadification. I'd love a good recording of this.
His job is to shed light, not to master.
