Comments:

I was living outside of Boston, MA and went on vacation with my parents and sister to San Fran (I was 17 at the time).<br>My sister and I heard that the Dead had played the night before at the Kaiser Aud. so we called the radio station to find out about it.<br>We spoke with "M" at KFOG and he gave us his passes to the show.<br>We went that night (my parents drove us...how strange) and it was awesome.<br>We did some of the things people are known to do at a Dead show...the cool part was that people were giving us everything for free...the entire evening cost me $0.<br>It was Chinese New Year...they had a dansing dragon on stage before the show.<br>The sets were great and we all went home happy.

short set indeed.
-Perrinswolf


Short set II, yes.

Beautifully played set II with a killer Lovelight close out, Absolutely!

I really liked the space section leading into Black peter, really eerie and ambient, with some pretty cool sounds coming from brent. The show musta been a great one for the people there as well, considering it was chinese new year.

I know we are supposed to comment on the recordings, but I will say that these three Kaiser shows were remarkable for having a different Chinese act in the intermission each night. It was Chinese New Year, so one night there was a dragon dance, one night a Chinese orchestra, and one night a martial arts "dance" with drums. They were completely the high point of each night, because all three shows were utterly awful.
