The first night of a five night run at MSG. Nice When Push Comes to Shove. Bob says something crazy about "communist sabotage" and then uses a weird filter on his mic that sounds crazy as f***. Then they play Beer Barrel Polka. Nice Row Jimmy. Sweet Gimme Some Lovin.

The show is close to bieng flawless, however I'm tired of hearing people say "It was downhill from here" 91 is a totally unsung year the dead kicked the s*** out of all three tours that year also towards your downhill statement I'm a big Phil Lesh fan, however his comments about Jerry in the end sucked, and don't use his crappy downhill statement the fans were downhill at the end of the GD's last couple of years/Jerry was really sick I believe after his incident in '92.

Hey JBoy, you moron - you didn't even mention that this was the first Grateful Dead show that was opened with a Brent tune. Sure you knoew that, right? Or do you not even own Deadbase? Regardless, this is an historic show because they opened with a Brent tune for the first time ever and it was glorious. And I was there.

I went to this show and it probably doesn't get the recognition it deserves because the set list is pretty standard fare. However, the second set is played flawlessly - not a single wrong note, no fumbling for lyrics, and Jerry's voice is REALLY strong on this night. He belts out his numbers with that renewed '87 vigor after his '86 health problems. Jboy - stop posting about every show you've ever heard. Your pretentious pontificating is embarrassing. Stick to the ones you've actually attended.
