Morning Dew to start off the 2nd set!!
Didn't realize "Playin' in the 'John" was done in the early 70s'-SCHWEET!

This was an incredible night to remember. The concert was amazing. The band played and played, and the audience became "one" with the music. It was a surreal evening, and I will never forget it....including the "el" accident that we were all (concert goers, packed in like sardines)in after the concert. It sobered many of us up...

What an amazing concert! I was there 42 years ago and remember the second set very clearly. I remember walking into McGaw Hall and seeing the largest pile of speakers I'd ever seen. Great memories. Thanks for the recording.

Wake of the flood 50th remaster deluxe edition. WRS, and beginning of Set 2 to Mississippi Half Step
- (10/05/2023)


50th Anniversary of this great and momentous show! Second set recording is a terrific listen from that opening Morning Dew; the interplay between Jerry and Phil is so beautiful it will make you cry, and it goes from there.

Question, does anyone know if/where a complete recording of the first set exists? All the archive recordings are of the second set, plus the WRS (a great one!) on the Wake of the Flood Reissue.

I feel a connection to this show in my hometown, though I was just a child asleep in my bed just a few blocks away from McGaw Hall. I like to think it drifted on the night wind and planted a seed, though I took some different musical journeys before my first show at Alpine in '89.

A lot of interesting (to me anyway!) lore about this one, produced by the Amazingrace coffeehouse people at the Main which was a family staple. And a crazy project to drape the ceiling in parachute silks, dipped for fireproofing (good plan!)-- seems like something unimaginable today. Evanston!

Boy! Was Weir and Lesh (r.i.p) on it during Morning Dew or what! Thats to Siriusxm for the ride home tonight jam. Weir is in the mix for sure and if I'm allowed to say this, but did Jerry start to run the train off what tracks Bobby and Phil were putting down? Listen in dear friends and let me know your thoughts. maybe it was my dream ihad dreamed long ago.Cman out ✌️
