Lots of hype regarding lack of tickets for this show but to no avail. Shows were decent but the scenery was unbelievable. Mountains and trees all around. I remember Phil during Scarlet/Fire just taking it all in. Also saw Kingfish after the second show at the Fly me to the Moon Saloon. Colorado!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was at both these shows and what a magical place T-ride is and what could be better than seeing the Dead there. That Eyes was remeniscent of 74 and that Drum Mickey was using there during drums I never heard again it vibrated the whole valley.

What a trip, but like other high profile, outdoor shows, thought they were OK at best. Too many mistakes.

Best things were 1) Bill Graham holding 1,000 tickets back until everyone came from Red Rocks. Everybody got in no problem. Absolutely Brilliant, relaxed the whole town for the weekend,

and 2) Fire... Looking up at the mountains and box canyon on a beautiful day. Never forget it.

What a weekend in Telluride with the Dead!! I was living in Durango at the time attending Ft. Lewis and when it was announced they were playing 2 days in Telluride I thought damn I'm going to both shows. The tickets were going on sale at a record shop in Durango, I got up before the sun and got in line. There were already 10 people in line waiting for the store to open.
I will and have never forgotten this awesome show in the mountains with my friends.
