S*******************************************************S Saw the Dead at Nassau Coliseum 3/29. All in all, a great show, but with a few surprises. Jerry had shaved his beard and had a very conservative haircut. He was wearing a tweed jacket, oxford shirt, khakis, and loafers. Donna Godchaux made her first appearance with the band in years and really shocked the audience with a really hot rendition of "I Am Woman"! Also, they played a few new songs, but they were very well done, especially the polka medley. For an encore, they did Wings' "Let 'em In!" Some of the deadheads thought they were getting too conservative, but I still say there's nothing like a Grateful Dead concert. Also, one YES vote for net.music.dead!! --------------------------- Grateful Dead -- Nassau Coliseum, March 29: What's Become of the Baby -> I Am Woman China Cat Sunflower -> Having My Baby Polka Medley The Other One Feedback Simon Says -> Chewy Chewy Shakedown Street -> Kung Fu Fighting BILLY DON'T BE A HERO!!!

Sounds like a repeat of the 4-1-78 show... Actually, it is fun to catch Brent screwing around while Jerry is tuning up. One of last years summer shows had him playing "baseball cheers," although Funiculi Funicula and Beer Barrel Polka are not unheard of. Get those playlists out as soon as you come down from the shows... --Cliff [Matthews] {purdue, cmcl2, ihnp4}!lanl!unmvax!cliff {csu-cs, pur-ee, convex, gatech, ucbvax}!unmvax!cliff 4744 Trumbull S.E. - Albuquerque NM 87108 - (505) 265-9143
