« Springfield Civic Center Arena - March 24, 1985Attendees of this show
absolute fun, fun show with good friends. Bumped into my old friend Chris --Now known as Topher the Phish light man-- after the show. I was filled with glee after the good love. Old Chris had been hijacked by another band.
This was the stronger of the two nights. This place was fun and the band was on. Ran into Brent before this show too which made it a pretty cool night as well. Second set smokes!
This arena always produced a good if not great Dead show. It was just your basic 10,000 seat hockey arena but something about the vibe here got the band going. I saw my first show here in 78 with my buddy Peter and got totally hooked. I lived in the burbs just 10 minutes from the civic center. We had quite a few DH's at LHS because of the shows at this place. This night was my friend Aimee's 21st B'day so we had a fun party. After this show Hartford and Worcester won out.

Location
The Jack Straw and the Sugaree are both about as good as you will hear. Go ahead on over to Archive.org and listen to this opening. Absolutely scorching. Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
