I remember they played
I remember they played "Casey Jones", so unless they also played it the night before, this is the show I attended. What I remember from this, my 2nd G.D. show, was that I bought a bootleg album for $5, which turned out to be pretty good, lending the cover to somebody at some point, to roll a joint on, which I referred to as "a worthy purpose".
Hard to Handle > Casey Jones
the playing and crowd energy from the is top-notch.
get this show!
Did Garcia REALLY fall to
Did Garcia REALLY fall to his knees during the passionate solo in "Hard To Handle???? I don't think we'll ever know for sure.
Too hot that night inside
I remember it being so hot and crowded in the Palladium that i almost passed out. It's the only Dead concert i was hoping to be a short one.
Yeah it was extremely hot in Palladium
I'm 6'4 and watched Garcia intently that night as I really "got it" at this particular show. I don't recall him dropping to his knees - but I will check with my brother and some friend who were also there and ask if anybody remembers.
hotter than an sob, yup
we wanted some air and looked for the balcony-heading, instead, right into the gurls bathroom complex. nice palace; main room was also the "blues brothers" concert in the movie, front area looks like the "dancing with the stars" set...maybe that's another nice LA place, dunno.
