i believe this was my first show with my brother, keith and donna and my best friend tells me that they were not there but i have pictures and unless i was really trippin more than i thought that was keith and donna on stage with jerry, bobby, mickey, phil and billy....
K&D were there; I don't believe Donna left the tour until Providence or Hartford or something.
My first. Nuff said.
Whoa!!! What have you gotten yourself into?
This was the first time I saw several shows in a row. It started in Philadelphia and ended a week later with this show. I thought the first set was ok. Second set was was really enjoyable, maybe because it was the first time in a week they didn't play Good Lovin'. Also found it odd they played Roses at both Philly shows. Loved the Dancin/Jerry,Bill Jam into drums. During the week I didn't hear anything about Kieth and Donna leaving. I always thought a female voice as part of the harmony added to the Dead experience. This show marked an end of the Kieth/Donna era for me. After the show it snowed again. My ride down from NY continued to the Volunteer Jam, I had to take Amtrack back.
I drove to this concert from Keansburg,NJ. During the concert I remember looking outside and seeing snow coming down. After the concert made the long, snowy drive back to Jersey.



Location
