Although I have heard these shows criticized, I went to three of them and loved them. The acoustic sets really stand out in my memory and I seem to recall that during this run I heard a number of tunes for the only time.
If you listen to the tape the band starts and then abruptly stops Estimated Prophet. I was at this show and what was happening is Phil was waving his hand because he didn't want to play it. The band had a quick conference in which Bob Weir won out and the did it.
Lesh had the crowd behind him since they were playing Estimated so often.
I went to the 25 & 26 and the week before I went to the Saenger Theater shows in New Orleans. The Radio City shows were all three abbreviated sets because of the 11pm curfew while the Saenger shows were three full length ones each night.

Location
second night at Radio City Music Hall. I don't remember too much about it. It was so long ago and early in my Deadhead Career. I know I had fun and my scrapbook has a few of the B/W photos I took.
