Never seen this one before

 

Place was HUUUUGGe before they tore it down.  Went to that one w/ Bob Dylan & The Dead.

That was some show.

The classic looking over the glasses look at 14:15

The Terrapin is fantastic.

That was a fun show, and tour...like most, it had its ups and downs...but, we had a blast at all we went to...and this was one of better ones.

Classic testimonials

Great find, Thank U

A couple daze short of one year since the coma, we were very lucky to get 9 more years of Garcia's music.

One of Phil's kidz on his T shirt?

 

Most excellent. Everyone could still play. 

That was the last of the "one Dead set" Dylan shows, interesting to see but I missed the regular format.

The Dylan set was good but ultimately no where near what the potential was, there were some major train wrecks (an aborted Queen Jane) and general sloppiness all a round.  Fun to see but not all  there.

The Roanoke shows were better, wish that there was good video of those.

^^^^^

Dylan suffered a loss this day that may have contributed to the set's performance issues...

John Henry Hammond II (December 15, 1910 – July 10, 1987) was an American record producer, civil rights activist, and music critic from the 1930s to the early 1980s. In his service as a talent scout, Hammond became one of the most influential figures in 20th-century popular music.

Hammond was instrumental in sparking or furthering numerous musical careers, including those of Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Benny Goodman, Harry James, Charlie Christian, Billie Holiday, Count Basie, Teddy Wilson, Big Joe Turner, Pete Seeger, Babatunde Olatunji, Aretha Franklin, George Benson, Freddie Green, Leonard Cohen, Arthur Russell, Jim Copp, Asha Puthli and Stevie Ray Vaughan. He is also largely responsible for the revival of delta blues artist Robert Johnson's music

Did not ever put that together krab, thanks.

Nice to listen to but I can't stand the pseudo-psychedelic graphic overlays. IMO, it ruins the video.
