Subject: My first real show
I had been to Dead shows before but couldn't get in, so I had to hang out as a tailgater. This turned out to be a great show. The band was intense, working to overcome the negative feelings many in the crowd had toward the Denver Police, who had a large uniformed contigent patrolling though out the arena.

They succeeded. No cops were hurt, and there were no arrests, as far as I could tell.

Sampson and Delilah is incredible, as is the jam segment of Playing in the Band.

This is an excellent recording considering the technology available at that time. Great work.

Listening to it in retrospect, I consider it one of the best shows I personally attended. Thank you for uploading this incredible show.
