This was my 3rd show in my Dead career which is still quite active I must say, and this night changed my life forever. Being from Indy, i always loved hometown shows. On this night i finally got it. Went with 3 freinds from the Pawn Brokers Pub in Indy and after it was over, they wanted to know why my jaw was still attatched to my sternum. I first off want to thank Steve, who supplied me with what he called "pyramid LSD" the night before at a party in Zionsville.

This show is full of the highest octane, most high energy playing I ever heard from the Grateful Dead. Many songs this evening contain great & even 'best' or 'favorite' versions' for me. Starting with the double-time CC Rider out of nowhere halfway through the song (we were at a total loss at the time and thought perhaps they had started Sugar Mag for an intstant in fact). The jam in CC Rider smokes & I will guarentee you no other version comes close.
- ★★★★★ · The Wildest, Most Intense Show I Ever Saw !!! · lilrichwhiteboy · 2013
They started out blazing and just burned the house down. Saying "they were ON" doesn't come close to describing it. Probably the only time C.C. Rider ever went 2X. Bird Song's jam is gorgeous > Let It Grow is a short, intense monster. I thought Phil's thundering vibration during - a way waayyy over the top - Passenger was going to bring the arena roof down, his bombs were shaking the place so much.
