My last Dead show.

I really enjoyed this show. I remember thinking they played quite a few country and folk songs. Never thought I'd hear Mexicali Blues. Garcia was incredibly heavy which worried me greatly. Still, they played well (as I remember). Very upbeat and spritied (or maybe I was very upbeat and spirited).

I never would have thought that this would be my last show. But, they never came back to Austin when I lived there (1989). And, I lived in L.A. until the day Jerry died (pretty much to the day). They always played December shows and I was usually out of town.
