I remember as the band kicked into Jack Straw, an inflatible Godzilla appeared above the heads of those up close and danced in furious rhythm to the song. LOL.
I developed this wierd pattern of pretty much touring until Brokedown Palace and then I would return home/school or whever I needed to be. No wonder it took me so long to graduate. This was an especially sweet one.
If memory serves me well this show had the best Terrapin I've ever heard. Those drummers were on fire that night. And Jerry well he was just Jerry, strong performance. They took their vitamins that night. The energy level was at an all time high!!
My first show, so I'm sure it seemed maybe better than it was, but what an introduction to the scene. Open seating on floor, one of the few reaining on East coast, was bummed to find this wasn't the norm. Aside from Minglewood 1st set could have been from 1974, so very solid. Was nice surprise to here Gimme some,, was fairly raucous if memory serves....Was is heaven when I heard the first glistening chords of Playin...couldn't believe get to see it live after hearing so many versions on tape, melded into great Terrapin... all in all was more than I ever could have dreamed after being introduced to the Dead and only hearing tapes for two years
That was the best Terripin ever! I snuck in a video camera and even though the quality of the tapes is poor, the quality of the playing all night, especially Terrapin, was stellar! Jerry rocking back and forth during the ending jam is something I still go back to and watch.
Peace all,
Harry
