I agree, I think this was definately a good show.  And when I factor
in the Neville Brothers and Olatunji along with the Dead, I would
definately say that this was the BEST CONCERT that I have EVER been to.
(And I've been to 53 Dead shows so far, plus Kinks, 3 Yes (in all iterations),
The Who, Joan Baez, Johnny Winter, 4 electric Jerry, 1 acoustic Jerry,
Olatunji, and a lot more (no - no Kate Bush, unfortunately)).
