Introduction (1:18) 2. Bertha (5:53) 3. Stage Banter (3:00) 4. Playin' In The Band (7:00) 5. Sugaree (7:31) 6. Stage Banter (2:10) 7. Me & My Uncle (3:05) 8. Stage Banter (2:26) 9. Tennessee Jed (7:12) 10. Jack Straw (5:35) 11. Big Railroad Blues (4:05) 12. Bobby McGee (6:09) 13. Cumberland Blues (5:55) Disc 2 (61:48) set 1 continued 1. Cold Rain & Snow (5:57) 2.

One More Saturday Night (5:54) set 2 10. Ramble On Rose (6:20) 11. Tuning (3:49) 12. Sugar Magnolia (8:07) Disc 3 (38:26) set 2 continued 1. Tuning (0:55) 2. Truckin'--> (10:58) 3. Drums--> (5:50) 4. The Other One%--> (16:12) 5. Johnny B. Goode (4:29) Warning: There is a bad connection between the PA system and the FM feed. This causes a buzzing that pops up throughout the show, accompanied by a total loss of amplitude for several seconds at a time. Nearly every song has several of these dropout episodes up until OMSN, with a few ocurrances in the 2nd set. Otherwise, the sound quality is not stellar either, and has frequent distortion and overmodulation on the portions from the primary source. The final portion of the 2nd set on disc 3 is slightly better quality, and the lineage might have one less analog generation, though this cannot be confirmed. Due to the technical problems, this entire show might only be for the completist collectors, and casual collectors might only be interested in the 2nd set. Notes: --Sound Forge was used to normalize and correct the pitch for source 1. Normalization was applied to the final portion of the 2nd set. Other minor edits were done using Sound Forge as well. --buzzing and dropouts occur frequently up until the 2nd set; there are often several during each song --dropouts from tech problems @ 7:05 & 7:25 in O1 --dropout from tech problem @ 1:09 in JBG part of The Music Never Stopped Project 2002 Thanks to Matt Vernon, Raoul Duke, and Jeff Cook encoding/edits by J. Cotsman - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Spanish Jam

If I remember correctly, they were playing in a gym type structure and the stage was only three feet off the ground. I was sitting on the stage in front of Phil. I also remember Jorma stopping by at the end of the show and jammed with the Dead. After 44 years, I've been beginning to doubt my sanity because I've never seen any reference to any of the Airplane playing with the Dead at a show I attended until I read your comments above. Thank you http://bermangraphics.com/images/500-berman-garcia.jpg

Attended it with a friend and a few bonafide Deadheads, who were tight with the band. We were backstage after the show for about an house. Still have pics and of Lisa sitting on Jerry’s lap chatting the entire time. Great show, plus Jerry still also playing pedal steel with NRPS opening. My friends and I went to hit the bathroom, after the hour backstage, who our other friends were still talking to the band…we came back and they had left, thinking we had gotten a ride with someone else. UGH! We WALKED all the way back to SUNY Brockport, freezing our balls of in late October up near Lake Ontario, wearing just jean jackets..cuz nobody would stop to pick up two guys with hair down to our asses inn the middle of the night! 20 miles! We got home around 10 a.m…..What a great night.🤣😂 Two years later, I became the all-night radio DJ at the underground FM station that did the simulcast of this and other Dead shows and hundreds of others during the ‘70s. Have toured the U.S. and Europe as a musician and STILL playing at 72….Decided to post today because Donna Jean Godchaux passed yesterday. R.I.P. I now live in the mountains of southern TN, an hour from Muscle Shoals where she got her start.
