  I'd like to extend thanks to Dick for posting an excellent personalized
review of the recent Greek shows. Wish I could have been there, but I've
chosen to spend my money and vacation time on other things the past few
months (more on that later, in another newsgroup....)

   Glad to hear it! That Derek & the Dominoes song has always been one of
my favorites. I hope I get to hear it at the Rocks, since those
are probably the only Dead shows I'll be able to make this year. I've posted
this before here, but it's obviously been forgotten: the Dylan song referred
to is entitled "She Belongs to Me" and is from the "Bringing It All Back Home"
album (which also contains other classics like "Maggie's Farm" and one of
Jerry's favorites, "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue").

  Yes. This one is called "Comes a Time" and appears on Jerry's solo album
"Reflections". 

  Thanks for the great review, Dick. When are the tapes going to be available
for us poor working slobs who couldn't make the shows? :-)
