Grateful Dead

I made this entire run at MSG. 9/10 with Marsalis will always hold a special place for me, but this show I'll always remember for a ridiculous reason. I was working throughout the run, changing out of a suit in my car, and trying to pick up food on the fly. No time this night, just straight into the city from NJ and right into MSG to hook up with friends in the press box area on the side - no good seats this night. My friends fed me Jolly ranchers on an empty stomach, and I found myself nearly passing out from a sugar rush! Folks asked if I was OK, people asked - "what'd he take?" The answer, "jolly Ranchers", and the looks that got, ensured I was ribbed for years afterwards.

This was my only MSG Dead show. I remember being in the upper bowl of MSG (Sober) Although the set looks great, this show was very low energy, but still a better than most concerts I have seen over the last 20 years. Mike Ardieta Rochester, NY

Set list mistake - between Loser & Brown Eyed in 1st set, they played "It's All Over Now"
