    My favorite show other than my first show

    It should be noted that being in Michigan, which wasn’t at all a hotbed of Deadheads, I only saw maybe 20 shows in my years of attending Grateful Dead shows, but this show was my favorite show other than the mind-expanding experience of my first show in 1971 at Michigan State. And I actually knew most of the songs at this show - I knew nearly nothing of the Grateful Dead when I saw that 1971 show. The highlight for me, though, was a song I hadn’t heard before. My daughter was 3 months old when this show happened, so when Brent sang “I Will Take You Home”, I was beautifully teary-eyed.

    good
    My parents say they were at the show and that it was one of the best nights of their lives. Sometimes they go on and on about how Pittsburgh great was back in the day. And that these days you can’t get so close to real counter culture influences. ::: catalina island hotels

The previous night had a rockin' feel to it where this night was more experimental. The Birdsong was a tremendously played version. The entire second set was perfect all the way through.

My first show and as they say, the rest is history. Listening to the tapes since I really learned how much I dug this kinda experimental playing. The Scarlet-Fire is really spacey for sure. A great initiation to a good ride!

After the harsh treatment of Pittsburgh. This was like going home. Great people, tiny venue, And the shows rocked. This show in particular is very exploratory with great jams. highlights: Red Rooster, Bird Song and the entire second set. Excellent show.

It seemed whenever the Dead played Ann Arbor they turned it up a notch, no doubt in recognition of its "counter culture" significance.

that's how u know ur having a memorable experience and just a great trip. Jerry gives me the peace sign it was like, well a once in a lifetime experience. we drove out from Boston to visit some college friends. attended hash bash and caught a couple shows.boy was that fun. too bad my friend Jimmy is no longer around. he is in a peaceful place, or so it looks from space.

I would stack these 2 shows up against any shows played in '89 from any venue....that is how strong these performances were.

Granted I only saw the second night here and it was strong, but for Ann Arbor to say they stood up to ANY shows in 89' is a stretch when you consider Greek, Alpine, Hampton, of that year. Don't get me wrong I had a blast in Ann Arbor and the band did play well, but 89'did have a lot of very strong shows to choose from.

Never forget the cops in the riot gear looking alot like a bunch of Darthvaders or something.....I was trying to look one over really good and my friend took me over and poured me into the car. Nothing more exciting then watching the honey mustard sauce drip from a chicken nugget, I usta could do just that for hours....
