Nice to hear a soulful band backing likewise (if slighty muted - audio) Pigpen, then a really rockin' (Garcia riffs - outstanding!) Sugar Magnolia. I remember we (Mu & I) left early - a school night - and back at your place, watched the last few songs (Quicksilver) on KQED. I remember this nite was my 1st time at Winterland. I recall the giddy fun-barrel-at-Playland feeling I got, looking at the lights from the mirror ball moving across the floor as we walked in.

That's what this was billed as. the New Riders opened, then the Dead, followed by the Airplane, and then Quicksilver. By this time the Dead were the top draw and the crowd showed it. After their set, the crowd wouldn't stop cheering for "more Dead" and when the mc came out to remind us that there was still the Airplane and Quicksilver we all kept yelling "more Dead". The show was broadcast on KQED so you had Slick hamming it up to the cameras etc.
