I consider myself lucky to have seen the dead twice (this night being the first), although at the very end of the road, and the end of an era. but after that i decided that there was something seriously wrong with our society and that ACTUALLY WERE other ways to live and be!! what an eye opener for me, i was 16 and i heard the dead were coming to town (the first time in 11 years they played in san diego)

The sound is notoriusly bad inside San Diego Sports Arena, and the acoustics stayed true to their reputation this night. There were 3 songs in the first set that i didnt know at the time -- Same thing, Broken Arrow and Easy Answers, I remember being kind of bummed at the time because it seemed like it was a totally different band than i learned to love with things like europe 72 and live dead. Heh, well i was young and stupid, of course now i treasure the memories of the few shows i got to witness the spectacle of. only makes me wish i had a time machine. Ive never been a big fan of shows after 87 or so with some notable exceptions from each year after that. basically because i dont like the sound mix they used during those years, IMHO bobby used his distortion way too much, and sometimes you flat out cant hear his guitar at all even when you see him strumming, and it's a lot of welnick filling in the holes, plus the faltering vocal quality. again at times they did shine in various ways in that era, but unless you get these shows for sentimental reasons, theres a lot better shows to download, sad to say

Fantastic Stranger and not there is many of you, but for anyone who likes easy answers or at the very least wants to hear a decent version, this one is for you. Tons of energy on this baby. Very surprising. Unfortunately the second set is very lackluster

My first dead show I took my step brother and we had a grate time. the sound sucked and so did my seat, but oh what a time we had. I was given a ticket by the sweetest friend I had at the time yolonda and I will always remember her for that. not the best or favorite show I saw but it was my first and who forgets there first.

Easy Answers disguised as Minglewood? (To cushion the blow?) I happen to like the song, actually!
