Great Show! Great recording! Great to hear Donna Jean!

Dead and Company is much better than Furthur IMHO. I like John-boy play'n. He's aggressive and even had his table cloth made into a shirt and shorts. JM also seems to have the jump'n down to an art form.

Donna Jean, you nailed it the next night on GDTFB w/ Oteil.

I'm planning on Denver in November.

I absolutely believe that Donna should have an open invitation with, a seat at the table.
Her era was the best in the band's history (IMHO)

First I want to say thank you for posting your recording of this great music. That said, why the shot at Donna? Phil can't sing a lick, but people say,''LET PHIL SING!'' And I say the same! Donna can actually carry a tune and she was an early staple of the Grateful Dead lineup for seven years. That's a long time, and her seat at the table should be a standing reservation and an open invitation, in my humble opinion. I was in Santa Clara for the Fare Thee Well shows (living in Japan, I haven't been back since and truly wish I could see some of these D&Co shows) and I think she should have been up on that stage and in Chicago for at least a few songs. Having her up there with Bob is awesome. LET DONNA SING!

On a lighter note, I was at the incredibly fun Oxford, ME shows in July of '88 and someone started yelling, ''LET MICKEY SING!'' Bobby heard the guy and responded by saying,''Let Mickey sing? You obviously haven't heard that. I mean you can have it if you really want.'' Accurate quote because it's pretty clear on the show's recording. That still cracks me up to this day. I guess it's true that there are those who are better off with drum sticks than a mic.
