Radio City crowd takes the lyrics right out of Jerry's hands. I think even he was a little taken aback by the gesture.

Radio City opening night. Working out tech troubles..but seem to have it dialled in here. Awesome sustained transition..sample hunters take note.

After a bit of shaky night opening night to the Warfield acoustic run, the nerves have settled and we're into perfection

"We figured, 'what the fuck?' Might as well try it." Incredible to hear how uncomfortable Jerry is without an impenetrable decibel force between the crowd. Certainly he's no stranger to playing acoustic, but coming out so raw in a proper Grateful Dead show? Shook.

A rare, sloppy Brokedown tonight, and boy did they ever earn it.

Easy to get swept up in Jerry, but I was taking a different ride on Billy's hi-hats. Combination of the tape + my EQ but mostly he's just laying it down straight as an arrow.
