Incredible show! My second show and the band was smokin from the beginning to end and one of my favorite shows of all time. You can check it out on http://www.archive.org so enjoy it and any other show the Grateful Dead performed it is a great site.

That 79 show sounds good, but you have to check out the spring of 81 at the Stanley. 3/05/81 and the better of the 2 shows 3/06/81. Listen to them at the same location, I'm sure that you will really enjoy these 2 gems!!!
One of the first really high quality SBDs I added to my collection back in the day. Jerry's back up vocals on OMSN make him sound like he is in the room.
I'm new to this site; what a trip to find not only my first Dead concert (this one), but my first concert, period. Must say, the band spoiled me....no other group EVER came close. Wish I'd seen more shows (caught about a half dozen more). but the "day job" got in the way. Still, most greatful for the ones I did manage to see. Am most curious...how are the shows since Jerry's untimely passing??? Do they compare to the earlier experience? Any responces are most appreciated!
Began the long strange trip, etched in my memory - Bobby spitting out words into the orch pit, just freaking rockin!!!
"there really isn't far to go"
Had a good nights sleep. Drove to the show via the Fort Pitt bridge/tunnel and was ready to go. Jack Straw had Mickey standing and pounding the drums. Sugaree went on and on and...Althea slow and methodical. Music Never Stopped finished an ok set. The band was cookin and hoped the second set wouldn't dissappoint. China > Rider smoked. Looks Like Rain started with drums and Jerry creating a thunderstorm. Love this version. The jam after Hes Gone is the dead as one and a highlight of my time seeing the group perform. CC Rider topped off the jam nicely. They were rockin'. NFA had a punch and Black Peter was soulful. Sugar Magnolia rounded out the perfect weekend. OMSN sent us home with Grateful Dead smiles that took a month to wash off. I used the Stanley shows to compare other runs for years to come. Not many came close.
Location
I had this show almost imeadiately afterwards as a SBD reel-to-reel. It was a classic show from the start. Second set He's gone>gloria jam>CC rider blew us away, and still does!
