- ★★★★★ · Show review from RS 40 · Cheezdude · 2014
Copied from an interview, published in Rolling Stone magazine, 8/23/69, written by Michael Lydon. "The dance is at Springer's Inn, about 10 miles out of town, and they start out about 9:30. A mile from the place there is a huge traffic jam on the narrow country road, and they stick the cars in a ditch and walk, a few fragments in the flow to Springer's under a full yellow moon. The last time they played Portland they were at a ballroom with a spring floor that made dancing inevitable.

For my money (lol), this performance is every bit as fantastic as the wonderful Seminole Indian Village shows in Florida shows just a week prior. Note for note it's arguably better than either of those. This is nothing more or less than a quintessential Grateful Dead show from 1969, with all the bells and warts that you'd expect and a few that you'd never expect.
