When they finally tried to play Saturday Night, you could tell their hearts and minds were no longer into continuing this night. After all, the first two sets were well played, creative and joyful. The band had several discussions - you could see that they were at serious odds about whether they should continue with the plan and do a third set. By then, Jerry and Phil were both sitting on the stage floor - everyone seeming quite upset by this sudden change of weird energy and bad vibe. jumped off the stage to help break things up and security started pounding on Bill, that's what Phil is so upset about. The fight was ugly - several security dudes beating on one guy who was dancing in the aisle right in front of the stage, even Bill K. What really sucked was that this show was advertised as 'The Grateful Dead Performing 3 Sets'. You will be in my heart and mind forever. Thanks to everyone who took the time to make this site possible - but mostly thanks to Jerry and the Boys for making 5 star music.

I have many memories from my travels with the band (1973- present) and they are all 5 star to me.

I feel blessed that I saw them in person so many times and that we have the Archive to continue. Music is a gift at least that's how I feel.

If the music makes you happy and uplifts you, that's all you can ask of a piece of music. In the end, it doesn't matter whether you hear the riffs or not. I have been playing piano and guitar since I'm a child and I have a trained musical ear.it's there if you know the song and listen closely. It's not the whole song or even part of the song but the riffs and licks are there. Right out of the box, you can hear the early makings of Wang Dang Doodle. For the person who commented he played guitar as a second profession for 35 years and he couldn't hear traces of Wang Dang Doodle in the riffs Jerry was playing. Some shows are better than others and some years are tighter than others, I agree. I usually don't comment on shows or recordings because for me they are all great and we are blessed to have had Jerry and the boys for so long.
