    I am soooooooo grateful to find this show here. I was there, no promise of the dead, just a hint (3 or 4 band members were listed as Joan's "friends") At this show a friend of mine turned to his buddy and asked "so how do they make you feel when they play?" the response: "anywhere from wanting to throw a rotten tomatoe on stage to wanting to SELL EVERYTHING AND FOLLOW THEM EVERYWHERE" I haven't yet done either but I think it was this show that took me from a "fan" to a "head" THANK YOU!

  • ★★★★ · Joan fest · jeffsetz · 2005

    This show was advertised as a Dance For Disarmament benefit w/Joan Baez and friends, including Jerry & Bob and was held at an old fairgrounds exhibit hall. No mention of electric Dead was advertised anywhere. Tix were snapped up rather quickly and I recall many folks getting shut out. Even as we got in and saw Mickey Hart and Mimi Farina's sets, there was still no reason to believe the Dead would play a set.
