    Solid show with incredible sound! First set highlights for me include an amazing Jimmy, Stranger, Masterpiece, Push, and of course Music Never Stopped. Hey, its the one from Fallout from the Phil Zone! You gotta love it when Brent hits that high note and sustains it over the rest of the band during the jam! Set two is a monster with the most intense China Rider I have heard from this period followed by a great SOTM. I love this song and the placement before Drums is pretty cool IMHO!

    The fact that the Dead released this night on video as "Downhill From Here" should tell you what THEY thought of the evening. In The Grateful Dead Taping Compendium, Vol 3, John Dwork comments on the entire three-show run at Alpine in 1989, and lists the highlights of this particular show as "...every damn note." Two of the many notable hightlights: 1) Not Fade Away. Usually a throw-away tune, this version sparkles. Raunchy, energetic, full of life.

    Obviously, without question this three night set was a very special event from pulling in the night before to packing it all up just covered in mud. Anyone who was fortunate enough to catch these shows knows, and for those who missed them all you have to do is listen. Truly a magical event in my life, filled with great stories and I am sure I am not alone in that regard.
