Wednesday, January 18, 1978

I stumbled upon this planning to listen to Half Step opener, a few hours later and I am writing a review as Jerry drifts into Stella Blue. I like Jerry's vocals (Peggy-o)in the first set and the jamming is good especially closing with LL>SUPPL Second set nice Playin-enjoyed the big jam after Passenger might even call it a mini 78 version of later day Space jam that goes into a way laid back Estimated. In fact this whole show just has a great mellow vibe.

Been out of the listening loop for some time now. Thought I'd check back in and dig up my first show. Not at all as I so-called remember it, but dear nonetheless. It was a wild and wooly time, and I am glad I got to know the Dead in the 1970's. This show was the beginning of a long and fulfilling love affair. I am grateful.
