Before the days of the 'managed' buzz.........
That Friend of the Devil was sublime. I have not heard this in a long time but I recall FOTD being extra long or maybe Brent took an extra solo (or maybe they just messed it up) but it was great music on a summer night.
This was a cool show on a great day. 1st set opener was really cool. Saw the NJ shows on this tour. All were good, none outstanding.
First of 5 straight this tour. Would rate it higher but the Woodstocks hit a little hard that day. 1st Eyes too, oh well. They got better though!
This was always a fun venue. A little Hellatious getting in, but camping on that dirt lot, for some reason, was fun. The shows here were always well played. A fun stop on the tour!
I scored a laminate in the parking lot.It got me in 6 nights on that run & 3 of my friends the rest of the run including Cal Expo.
opening night on your east coast summer tour.

except for seeing jgb in oldorchard beach with bob and rob acoustic to open the show and clarence clemmons on the sax setting in with jerry band all night!!!................aiko aiko
i remember that it was africa hot outside until the sun went down
This was my first Dead show. So, you know all the usual stuff that goes along with that. I had a great time. It was a fun day. That Africa-hot comment is surely true. That crappy old stadium was really a crappy old place to see a concert, but the sound was good, and it was always better to experience the Dead outdoors.
Was one of the best setlists I ever witnessed. Pretty good for someone's first show, don't you think? It turned out to be one of the best Dead shows I ever saw....setlist & performance-wise.
