My brother and I just listened to this show and we commented on how crisp and interested Jerry seemed on his leads. Especially the Brown Eyed. I didn't know what I was getting into at the time but I knew somewhere in the middle that these guys were for me. My older brother Steve, God rest his soul, had turned me onto my first Grateful Dead Album, Wake of the Flood, a year and a half to two years before. I just remember that it wasn't like anything I had heard before and I remember the playing card, the 8 of diamonds, and there was one card spinning and flipping end over end and also diagonally. There were eight cards surrounding this card, each card was doing what that card was doing plus the whole group was spinning and flipping. There were eight groups of cards around this group and each group was doing what the others were plus the entire group was spinning and flpping and there were 8 groups around those groups and on to infinity. I just wonder if anyone else recalls seeing this at this show or was I the only one. ;)

At least, I think it was.

Drove from Gaffney SC, age 14 (I didn't drive). I can't believe it's been that long.

Damn you, time!

I remember the show more for it being the first time I saw Brent on keys. The fact it was Brent's first east coast show coupled with what seemed like an unusual number of motorcycle gang members wearing colors (pagans and angels both) plus the Charlotte cops put a really weird vibe on the show for me for sure. I did feel like the tempo and tunes consciously played to this and soothed the night out.
