People seem stoked, it sounds like a good show but its hard to tell i can barely hear it, tough to listen to.

it was my favorite of the Southern shows that year. I did get pulled over leaving Houston on the way to Dallas and the Pig that pulled us over insulted us and slapped my friend in the face several times. They accused me of stealing gas at the only station in the area which we didn't.
And we got pulled over and searched leaving the Dallas show too.
However, I loved Houston. Bobby and Brent looked in the Zone. I was 5th row and could look into their eyes and what I saw told me they were in the Zone and telepathic shit was going down between the band and me.

This show is worth writing about simply because it was indeed the first version of latter years GREAT new song Built To Last. Jerry sings it with zest. Love how he nails the lyrics with every verse. I downloaded this and listend to it in my car all week with lots of smiles which is not rare for 1988 shows, but this was my first listen of this show. And in my opinion, every show is worth multiple listens when Mr Fantasy > Hey Jude Finale appear. Brent is was always will be filled with fantasy and magic.

I wasn't at this show but I remember the stories going around tour about a roadblock check point at the border where all heads vehicles were searched. I don't believe the band has played Texas since. Texas is great and it is sad that this is the impression people have of the state. Bobby / Phil come back to Texas and blow them away the state is ready for your impending return!

i give this one 5 stars because i have been searching for years and years and have finally found it my stars go to the taper and the uploader. this is my one and only dead show i was stuck living in houston and was 17 at the time so traveling was out of the question not from lack of desire but an overbearing mother so when the boys came to houston i was floored. i first found the band in 1986 as was addicted at first listen, bears choice being my first tape now i have tons of shows and drive my wife crazy listening to them. so i cant wait to hear this one granted its only the second set and has flaws but its my only show and the memories will be worth it. by the way i don't remember which song it was but brent was jamming hard and stood up to get into it and fell backwards flat on his ass listen for the keys to stop and the audience going wild as he got back up

Nice to see this one finally posted. Missing the first set, obviously. The Summit is now a giant church, no more rock concerts. I guess they didn't like playing at Astroworld like last 1985 show, I wonder why?? This tape has a boomy reverberant quality to it and more or less mellow versions of the songs. The first Built to Last is here. I recall this show very clearly, especially the one note that starts the jam section of Playin', when the lyrics are all done and they hit the "on" together to start the trippy jam, turn up your speakers for the DEEP bass Phil gives us, I remember that moment like it was 5 minutes ago. I spent alot of this show running wround the arena dosin' and hugging "om" pods where heads were amassed and swarming and sweating and chanting OM. Gotta love the Dead. Next night was Dallas. Great run.
