The night begins with a monster first set, bursting with eleven lengthy tunes. The Alabama Getaway> Promised Land is an exquisite way to open a show, but the first real throw down jam is not until a few songs in It’s All Over Now. And the rest of the set cooks. However, the Dead turned it up a notch in the second half. A short Scarlet opens the action, making way for a ferociously brilliant Fire. And a Stranger> Terrapin> Playin’ keep things hot into Drums. A hypnotic, dark, and searching Black Peter emerges from the ether of Space. From that place of desperate beauty the band heads into GDTRFB. And before too long, Jerry launches the band into a sizzling, frenetic jam, finally mellowing down for just a moment in order to transition into Around and Around, before setting off again. The joyous release continues into Johnny B Goode, and you can practically feel the sweat and see the smiles on the boys and the audience. The Brokedown encore is a stark contrast to the rocking, insatiable end to the set. But it sends the Heads in attendance home with everything they could want and more.
