This was a great show. Garcia always played his heart out unlike any other musician except maybe Hendrix. When people nit pick these shows it seems so odd. These runs were so fabulous, I guess you had to be there in context in Oakland to understand. Halls filled with spinners, echoes in the upper dome, dancing on the floor. These shows were so enjoyable it was like living on another planet in comparison to today's 300 dollar ticket for crap.

in oakland-alameda stadium, next to the Rock Med area, adjacent to a large walkway down, just off the floor. Someone was thoughtful enough to equip the room with two speakers amd a scene was born! This was the night that I truly discovered the magic of dancing with other people. We had a little secret room all to ourselves, for a whole show...a whole run of shows in fact, but this night, with a 6 song pre drums was the one to remember.
