Notes: This was my first Grateful Dead related show. I was a pretty little kid and we more or less snuck in
(OK, we convinced the ticket taker at the door to let us in by helping him clean up the stairs!). We also
found a backstage pass which got me backstage where I got ìthis closeî to Jerry (who I remember was
apparently … um…. ìtuning upî (shall we say 😉 in a broom closet I was standing against between sets.
Hey said ìHeyî to me as he went back to the stage ñ he had to since I was leaning up against the broom
Closet door trying to be unobtrusive. Youíll note that the second set is indeed notably more ìlivelyî kicking off with a monsterous ìDonít Let Go. î I remember as we were leaving, having to walk around rather large pools of vomit all over the green plastic floor covering that was protecting the floor of this gymnasium. Have no idea of the true source of this recording but it is no doubt recorded in the back of the gym up In the bleachers.

Thanks to The Jerry Site and Ryan Shriver for introducing me to Walter Keenan who provided a copy of his cassette, which I performed fairly major surgery on in ProTools and CoolEditPro. Numerous channel drop-outs were repaired to dual mono and a couple of ugly glitches were digitally spliced together, increasing the listenability and enjoyability of this show.
