Donna sang so well that she
Donna sang so well that she wasn't even there! (Donna & Keith left the band a month before the Spartan Stadium gig)

Greg Kihn getting on stage to open up and his first words "Anyone out there on psychedelics?" set a tone for the day. Charlie Daniels followed with a new song called "Devil went down to Georgia" from an album released 4 days later made it interesting.
The Dead were good that day, Donna sang well, Jerry played tremendously and the monster sound system was worth the drive from Chico. I was a huge Lowell George fan so I liked the Shakedown era quite a bit.
The rain was fun, it was a day to remember.
