Dougles,
I was at this one and have to say, of the 131 shows I had seen, this was IT.
It could have been that I was happy to be there, as our car had broken down in Austin days earlier, we were robbed at gunpoint by the tow truck "guys" and hitched up th K.C. having missed Jerry's B-Day.
It could be that I was handed a ticket by a lovely couple who was running late. They asked why I was the only one listening from the outside of the gate. Anyway, ran in just in time for Peggy-O. (Wherever you two are, I hope your well)
It could be that this theater is unbelievably beuatiful......
Or It could be that the boys were just really, really on.
You gotta be nutz to live in KC: 90 or more, and humid, whenever the Dead come to town. Starlight is a wonderful venue. This was the first show I met Barry, sitting in the taper section. The entire 1st set, especially Athea, was hot.
Unbelievable. Man Smart rocking over into this sweet Might as Well. The Shakedown tore the roof off - or the stars in this case. One of the most powerful nights of my life. I was then a rookie, but jesus god, not for long. Went home that night to Columbia MO to the Columns Quad at the University and wandered around til dawn letting that unreal To Lay Me Down reverb in my head.
Over 200 shows and this one was one of the best. Look at the first set! Amazingly hot show (both temp and playing).
Indeed a killer night. Great dancin' on near stage left under a sort of vine (?) covered-alley. Who ever was that sweet girl staring me down, sorry, I should have invited you into my space ... regrets. But a great night.
of my 150+ shows this was certainly one of the most memorable, ever. unbelievably tight show and to top it off with Casey Jones was just perfect. still grinning from this show. what a beautiful night it was, too at the Starlight
This was my first show...even tho I'd been listening to the boys on vinyl since '68 .
It seems like I lucked onto a good one.
Does anyone have a copy of this show??? One of my top 5.

Wow, What a show. The half step is one of the best. the whole show is tight tight. Big Railroad, To Lay Me Down! I had this cassette in my car for years. I mean in the player - playing.
