This is a show that I really like but seems to be somewhat forgotten compared to the ones around it by others. After getting the levels somewhat dialed in, the band starts with a good Casey Jones. Mama Tried is very good while the following Black Peter is haunting. Hard To Handle gives Pigpen a chance to step up and shine. China Cat Sunflower->I Know You Rider is good even with a tape flip during the jam. This High Time is one of my all time favourite versions. A clipped Good Lovin' rises to the occasion while Dancing In The Streets isn't as good as some of the ones we'd get later in the year, is still nice. The Alligator->Drums->The Eleven->Jam->Death Don't Have No Mercy is very, VERY impressive. We then get the reminder that the Dead will be back here on Sunday and to buy the band's new album, Live/Dead.
Set 2's Cumberland Blues, Me And My Uncle->Dire Wolf and Uncle John's Band are okay but it's the Easy Wind and That's It For The Other One->Cosmic Charlie that steal set 2.
