Comments:

My first show. Highlight being not the music (Jerry was on his way to coma-land, I later realized) but finding two backstage passes on the sidewalk as my buddy and I waited outside the Fox. Talked a good bit to Phil, Mickey, and Bill and said "hello" to Jerry and Bob before the show. I really miss Jerry. And Pigpen. And Brent. And Keith....
And Bruce.

I just got the download of this, and Jerry gives a tour de force on Sugaree to kick it off. It reminds me of some bad-ass basketball team that just comes out and rattles off a polished 18-2 run to start the game. However, I've gotta say that even though I'm from Kansas City, and even though I love the KC Royals and was completely ecstatic in '85 when they won the World Series, and even though I love the Dead, none of it adds up to allow me to enjoy their version of "Kansas City". Weir sounds like he is trying to shake off a lobotomy by drinking a 12 pack and singing KC on the karaoke. Oh well, it's still pretty cool they played this the day after the '85 Series concluded.

Kansans City-1 of 3 times played a Charlie Parker "the Bird" tribute to his home town.

@stylee-most respectfully Jerry was not befalled by his come until 86. Peggy-O Esau combo is something i'm just noticin' but let me finish with this first ya year. As in the Stella Blue and most of the show, he dusted off those rusty strings one more time.

Truckin'-fairly good rockin' and knee slappin, enjoy the modified crash.

Bobby "most def" picked up the slack for this show which I will listen to again with pleasure.
