Altogether, an excellent show, and one that bodes well for the rest of
the weekend.  As the band came out, the P.A. played Sgt. Pepper's (It was
twenty years ago today...) inducing a mild uproar in the crowd.  They
seemed psyched for the occasion, as evidenced by at least two waves
from Jerry and some extended playfulness between the drummers.  At the
end of hell in a bucket, there was a ten minute pause to fix the sound
system.  This effectively converted the show to three sets, a trend which
was generally approved of.

At the start of the second first set, Phil and Brent sang the as-yet-not-
officially-identified tune mentioned above; can anyone help out?

The second set opened with a tremendous Dew, whose soft passages were so
clear and evocative that I would have gone home satisfied had the show ended
immediately afterwards.  During the drums, they brought out a couple of
effects that I hadn't seen before.  One was an orb which seemed to contain
a green light which was concentrated in the center, and which sent out
tentacles of light to the surface roughly in time with the drums (and
which would probably not use a run-on sentence if it were describing
itself).  The other was a high-tech version of the old rotating silver
ball at the top of the dance hall; this one sent out narrow green beams
of light around the stage and onto the crowd.

The encore was a brief but vivacious day job.  Berkeley has an ordinance
which prevents such festivities from extending beyond 11:00 p.m., hence
the `brief.' (If you ever thought that the '84 Greek dark star ends
abruptly, there's the reason.)  The `vivacious' was internally motivated.
