This being my first show I had no idea what to expect. We were pretty close to the front and I do remember NRPS opening the show? Can anyone that was at this show confirm that the boys were dressed in suits adorned with skeletons made out of sequins.
As a veteran of around 100 shows that was the only time I ever saw Jerry in anything other than a t shirt.
Also, I remember He's Gone coming later in the show although I may be remembering NRPS first set, as the last 30 or so years have been just one smokey haze, your honor!
YES --THE "HEAT" WAS UNBEARABLE--BUT THE MUSIC ROLLED ON--- LIKE WATER DOWN A RIVER--RAMBLIN ON GOING ON......GOING ON.............
What a great show to enter the world by. :)
Cheers!

Yeah, both the Dead and the Riders had Nudie suits on. Garcias' was by far the coolest w/what looked like skeletons & mushrooms on it. Weirs' was white, like the cowboy that he was. 1st time Bobby had short hair. The suits didn't stay on for long. I got dosed by these organic turds the Hare Kirshnas were handing out (I seem to remember Bill Graham saying something about them from the stage- a warning I think)....."Don't eat the Kirshna turds!!!!!!!!!!"
