- ★★★★★ · My first show · BabylonDon · 2012
I had American Beauty and Skeletons from the closet, given to me by a country music fan because "they're not country enough". Nobody in my age group from my little suburb were listening. I didn't even know Keith and Donna existed when I went to the Uptown that night. By the time the faded out of Half-Step and started Franklin's Tower, I was hooked. Great show. Great venue. Great band.

This was my first Dead show at age 17. I knew nothing about the band and loved every minute of this show. Whether I've seen better (or heard better) later, and there were many, this one will always stand out as an all time favorite. BTW, it wasn't a broken string, someone came out on stage and cut Phil's strings. It was insane, which is probably why I remember it.

5-11-78 has a better version of Werewolves, I downloaded that show and it is awesome! I also wish that they would of played this song more. Nowadays you have to go to a Bob Weir and Ratdog show on Halloween to hear this song.hahaha oh well..... have a grate day!
