From the first notes of Morning Dew until the last notes of Johnny B Goode they were sparkling. My favorite out of 50 Dead Concerts. Although sound check at Watkins Glen was pretty incredible.

My first Dead show. I was there for the ABB and had no idea what the Dead were about. Wet Willie opened, followed by the Dead, with ABB taking the nightime slot.
I wandered right up to the stage to get a good look as they were tuning up. Jerry had his hair in double-sided pony tails. A friendly stranger told me “you can trust your head to Jerry.” It took me years to appreciate the wisdom of that statement, but I got it.
I was impressed by how soft and gently they opened up the show with Morning Dew with Jerry sensitively sprinkling tones over the gathering. Not what I expected from what I thought were just a bunch of crazy acid-heads.
Jerry and the Dead performed their brain surgery on me and opened up lots of new space. And I’m still trusting it.

I remember the railroad had to add more trains in NYC as there were so many of us going, we packed in like sardines, even taking up the luggage spaces. Amazing experience, amazing show.

The Dickie Betts jam still rings in my ears today.
