Stella Blue

Star Lake Amphitheater

Jerry's guitar scorches throughout, with genuine pin drop moments, followed by sweeping beauty. Coda laments for Stella are short but sweet.

Surprised it's not here. Epic show, one of the best of the 80s.

For the love of God... So ridiculous and absurdly awesome. This is why there was never a band like the Grateful Dead and why there was never anything like a Grateful Dead show.... Hear it erupt from an insane and a little bit scary Other One---Wharf Rat and smile smile smile..... read all about the thunder and the floods and the lightning... a crashing and chaotic thing of beauty! Bob makes us wonder if it's all just a dream....

Followed by a great Stranger. Again, only here for sentimental reasons!!! Don't get too excited, it's rough and messy... though it was an interesting show, with a weird and wild Half-Step-Rider and Comes a Time......

University of New Mexico

Have a feeling.... if we could find this entire show.... it would have to be something else..... Powerful and amazing!

The whole Other One is fantastic, and the Cryptical Reprise is beyond soaring!
