Grew up near the venue. Made this stop during tour and stayed at my brother’s apartment while he was rock climbing out west. Mid-tour. My cousin Chip attended the show. I gave him my GDTS mail order front row since I just wanted to dance with the other heads in the back. Really good second set.

Band seemed to lose a little gas after the last 3 shows.
Highlights: He's Gone (Nice little jam at the end)

Yeah it was my 1st tour and it was pretty sweet to come home, Pine Knob is like 15 minutes from the house I grew up in. So in the middle of my 1st tour I get to come home, get a bday meal from Mom, a little bday $ from pops, invite a bunch of new tour buds to my folks house to crash, c all my HS buds and proudly show them what my scene was all about. All in all it was s decent show. Iko was kinda rare at that time, & the end of set two was rollicking. Being my 18th bday & a hometown gig it would've been hard for the boys to disappoint. Saying that the night before in Indy & the night after in KC were both, I feel better shows-6/30/84 is a top 10 show for me outta 400+ Grateful Dead shows. I also fell in love with The Starlight Theatre that tour. 1984 Kc highlights was the heat lightning show coloring The Wheel & the 1st Scarlet>Touch>Fire combo; they played that combo again at the Greek Theatre after this tour. STARLIGHT 1985 was awesome too, I'd love to go back to that theatre. Starlight, Frost, Berkeley Greek were favorite venues that come to mind., Alpine Valley also a personal favorite. Saw my 1st shows there in 1982

only listened to 2nd set; a bit mellower than the sat nite indianapolis show, an ez 5 star -- nevertheless 2nd set is quite good w/ nice china>rider and superb post D/S playing and tune selection.
