Are there recordings of this show?

I've looked for years... and can find not the faintest suggestion of a tape of this show; indeed, I've found references to the show which state there are no recordings.

It wasn't an extraordinary show, as I recall it, but I'd love to hear it again to see if my refined sensibilities give me a new outlook on the show.

Thanks.

My very first show!

A rare show for sure! Myself and six friends drove in a blizzard of a snow storm from Ft Smith Arkansas to Tulsa Ok for my very first...and most of my fellow attendees...first show ever. The show, as I remember it was pretty lame, actually. Due to the weather, the attendance was really sparse, and I don't remember seeing even one dose or dancer the enitre show. Luckily, the following year, a number of these same friends took me to a show in Kansas City, Mo. where we ran into some Heads from NYC that we picked up hitchhiking. They had some green windowpane and the rest is hsitory. This night, though not one of the better Dead shows of my "career", was a turning point in my life that I will always remember. I, too have been looking for a tape of this show ever since, with absolutlely no luck whatsoever. Anybody else out there remeber this show?????

Sadly, I've discovered no tapes of this show, as well.
The perception of quality is subjective, so for me this show was absolute magic. It burned a poignant, permanent imprint of Peggy-O into my psyche. I can't hear that song to this day without wanting to cry. The concrete and metal bleachers under the domed metal roof of that agriculturally decorated art deco arena created a waveform that contained hotspots one of which I was happy to be stuck right in the middle of. My memory is of a syncopated, rhythmic jack-hammer madly beating the inside of a giant tin bucket stuck over my head, but in a musical way. At this show I internalized with complete understanding the concept, "the faster you go, the rounder you get."
They don't make em like this any more.

Tulsa show

At the age of 19 I produced the show on behalf of the Tulsa univ student assn, changed my life . due to the weather we lost $15k, a valuable lesson ( with someone elses money) about business. Experience of a lifetime. They felt sorry for us and invited me on the bus. I stayed and got my degree instead . Asked Dicks Picks about it , tapes were damaged .There was someone with a good rig close to the stage, but i never got the tape.
They were a bit shocked at my age when we met at the airport. Jerry was real friendly and we hung out and had a long converstaion at intermission. My girlfriend and I had a steak dinner cooked by the crew backstage second set.
The experience was crazy , the Babtists threatened to protest ( Oral Roberts country ) , the stage union tried to shut us down for using student labor , one of the cars with band members wrecked on the slick ice. Mickey threatened to toss the TV out the window when they would not let the band in the hotel bar with jeans on.
That experience prepared me for a great job that included working with global promotions , beauty pageants , TV shows and all kinds of good stuff.
Thanks Greatful Dead.
Learned a lot of lifes lessons that unforgetable night.
I still have the coffee cup from the band commisary

Hey Miles,

There is no tape of this concert in the GD's archive. This is one of
those rare post-1976 GD concerts for which I know of no recording
anywhere. Very odd.
