Subject: My 2nd show, and one of the best!

This night was something special, though I wasn't familiar enough with the Dead to know it at the time. They had just finished an incredible year, in which their fan base had exploded several fold. "In the Dark" had come out, they'd toured with Dylan. The Touch of Grey opener here is a toast to the greatest success, as a business, the band ever had. It's a tight, tight show, with segues that are so smooth and quick they knock your socks off. Thanks to Johnny, Joe, Chris...I remember you guys, and you showed me the ropes of a love that would last my whole life. Thanks in memoriam especially to Pat: Rest in peace, sleep in the stars.

Thanx Greg, Brian, and Evan. Don't know why this show has not surfaced for me until now. My first NYE run as a CA resident, a time of many shows while living in SF. Nice solid 87 style show. Great setlist, esp. before drums. Abrupt, but somehow quite smooth is the transition from UJB to Estimated. Not sure this is is more than a 4 star show for these guys. Sound is real nice. I am playing Uncle>River and Playin thru Drums on my radio show tomorrow night. Peace
