Maybe just another Wheel, but this show, especially after the Lay Me Down, felt to be all about recovering after saying good-bye to Brent.....

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!
