“It is said that, if you lined up all those who have ever been to a Grateful Dead concert head-to-toe, the line would stretch around the moon, and about halfway back. And nobody would complain!”

These few reviews are from other recordings…
REVIEW: WOW
OMG what a amazing audience recording!! Wow this is just as good as it gets. Fantastic show too, i was
there. Jerry grilled fish on a Weber grill during setbreaks on the the side of the stage. Thank you
REVIEW: good for 88
this is a great show musically, with “fire” “watchtower” and morning dew” as highlights.this gets a 4 as
garcia’s voice is more off than on. musically a 5, and the sound quality is a 5. wow is rite
Holy cow where did this one come from? Dam not sure it sounded this good that day in the Kaiser itself.
SMOKIN SMOKIN SMOKIN…. DON’T GIVE MANY 5 STARS THIS ONE GETS 5. Set list doesn’t
hurt.
REVIEW: Dew
Great morning dew. There are some uneven parts to this but very listenable indeed – Phil steps up in
gimme some lovin and the scarlet>fire playin is hot as is stagger lee, candyman.
REVIEW: candyman!
I search high and low for sick candyman’s and this one is up there….great fret work by garcia, a few extra
fills on vocals makes t soulful. so far, so good in terms of sound, I would give it a 4. a little hallow, but a
solid board.
jerry seems to be enjoying himself, playing rapid scales and hollering a little bit…always fun to hear. check
it: Fire shreds!!! my lord.
REVIEW: Great show
i love the vibe of this show.
REVIEW: 3-16-88
Jerry plays some amazing riffs. Sound quality is allright after the first song or two. Jerry forgets a lot of lyrics.
