a god ending to a very long four show run at a blistering, crowded, dusty alpine valley. Aiko was great, solid first set. 2nd set was strong also, the rare "beleive it or not made its 2nd and i beleive final appearance here. I must say, the boys pulled themselves out of a tailspin from the three previous shows with this one. blackbird was nice but kinda fucked up. I have part of this show from the gd radio hour, but i would like the whole thing for my collection.

blackbird although flubbed, was awesome they flubbed it and cant help from crackin up between themselves, as much as they were laughin it was hard to believe they continued. Messed it up and made it an enjoyable moment only like the dead could.

gotta tell you, this whole run was awesome for me. My wife and I were out dosing liquid on everyone we met, and I've never been so in love with a venue, even through the dust bowl. Probably because of the solstice on the night off. Even my non-GDhead friends were moved by that night! Have to say, I haven't laughed at a show quite as much as I did at Blackbird. Anyway, love to all we met!

Best Morning Dew Ever.

I consider myself privileged to have been at this show for two reasons. And those two reasons made it worth enduring 5 days in the Dust Bowl of Alpine'88 (full disclosure: we went home to the Chicago area on the off day to shower and shit and sleep).

The first reason was clearly the Morning Dew. I haven't seen it mentioned here but TWICE during the Dew, dazed Heads wandered on to the stage just completely drawn to Jerry. Neither was aggressive and one girl just sat down a few feet from Jerry and simply stared up at him. I had a really good seat and was not on anything stronger than THC so I know this happened. Jerry seemed to actually get off on it and cranked up the energy. As you would expect, in both instances, a member of the GD Crew came out and gently escorted the dazed person off the stage. I think it was the most passionate vocal rendition I have heard.

The other reason was being present for the first of only seven total performances of Believe it or Not. It's too bad they didn't play it more. I believe it could have taken its place among the great Garcia/Hunter ballads like Stella Blue, Wharf Rat, Black Peter, Standing on the Moon (Morning Dew is its own category). I was so moved that night and again listening today 34 years later... it feels like a Garcia/Hunter love letter to the Dead Heads. I mean...

Making music together
In a world time forgot
Let me show how I love you
Believe it or not
