Man was it hot. I mean upper 90's. We even formed our own weather system.

yeah and Jerry was about to collapse as his body was shutting down heading towards a diabetic coma!!

this show pretty much sucks...but compared to the next day's disaster it was just very mediocre whereas the 7/7/86 show was a complete meltdown.

don't bother with either of these shows they are flat out terrible!

I was at both days, I don't really remember this one as a great show, but the 7/7 show, second set was one of my all-time favs. Everything after Space was awesome, with the Satisfaction and ensuing band-intro being a defining moment of the thirty-something shows I saw.... Still makes the hair stand up on the back of my neck.

These two days were average. They were not horrible. It was right before Jerry went into a diabetic coma which is why they didn't play again until December.

wow if these were 'average' assuming there are about 1/2 as many shows worse or a lot worse and about 1/2 as many better or a lot better then .. then ... then I guess I don't know what average is

You had to be there! This show was phantasmagoric!!!! Why is no one talking about Dylan and Petty?!! Dylan came on with the heartbreakers and did almost an entire set, then more Petty. It was freakin hot, but there was a firehose dousing the crowd. Alot of the heads stayed in the parking lot until the Dead came on to play two full sets and mostly at night. The Iko-Iko and St. of Circumstance were mind blowing and there was plenty-o space to dance your ass off! I never had so much fun in one day.....maybe these recordings suck, but you can say that about most statium boots.

My First show of around 110 total. 15 years old. I didnt know any dead but came to see dylan. Was blown away and hooked. After all day in the heat. Tom petty, petty w/dylan, dylan, dylan w/petty, then the dead! Wow! After the deads set, i said to my neighbor, "wow. That was Amazing. Is that it? He saw a 15 year old in a polo shirt and said, " yep, thats it!" And so me and my 2 friends... we left.
As we walked up the hill to the metro, the dead fired up again and we stood there dumbfounded outside the gates. So, id like to officially thank the asshole who stole my first: saint of circumstance which was well played and powerful, iko, where jerry is belting some good lyrics, a very well presented looks like rain, and he's gone. All well played. The stella has a very strong solo before "all rolls onto one". Throwing stones had some bumps in the middle but ends strong for a hot NFA. The crowd is very very tight. They take jerrys lines at the end for the call/responce part. Jerry no singy. And my first brokedown. All missed. Thanks jerko. Ps...
I bought american beauty/ working mans dead the next day...
