i really liked this one. the folks patched into me liked it too.
this is from memory, so it might not be accurate.
1st set
greatest story, bertha, its all over now, row jimmy, brother essau,
big railroad blues, looks lke rain (this was incredible) and
might as well.
2nd set
help on the way, franklins tower, playin in the band, long - good jam,
drums, space, the other one (? - i'm not sure), black peter, ashes, ashes
and not fade away.
encore - brokedown palace (which sounded very good)

shows like this one make it all worth it. lots of energy - jerry was
really hitting it and even moving around a little. they were
having a good ole time...and so were were we..

taping these shows was not too hard. they tried to herd us into the
balcony the first two nights - the last night they gave up. a bunch
of folks went in front of the board wed. night, and a bunch of them
got their tapes taken away - with threats of getting tossed out if
they tried it the next night. 

nothing left to do but smile, smile, smile....see ya...rich
