does a recording exist ???

this one opened with a fresh sounding "casey jones" (unlike the weary sound of later years) with a rolling steam locomotive rhythm and also had a really hot "easy wind" as i recall.

nrps still had jerry sitting in on pedal steel and also sounded great with marmaduke doing a decent mick jagger impression on "honky tonk women".

i have never been able to find a recording of this one even though the fillmore shows seem to be well-documented in trader circles.

This was my first show and I

This was my first show and I haven't been the same since.

I remember there was no smoking in the auditorium and there ws a mad crush of people in the restrooms smoking during intermission.

my first show

I remember Weir at the mike before the show talking gibberish. . . wonderful weirdness. We were sitting on the left side - 10 (??)rows back. Folks kept throwing joints from the balconey down to us. I would love to find a recording also.

My First Show Also

Wish I could see a set list. All I can recall is that it was a great show. I seem to remember comments about the house lights going on and off.

My First Show, Too!

This was my first show, too! I sat in the balcony, must have been the first or second row. When my dad picked me up after the show (I was 15 years old), he commented, not disapprovingly, that he had seen topless hippie girls outside, while he was waiting for me. So he wasn't bored.

Also my first

Quality is not expensive, the lack of it often is.
