Thirty-Eight

This is around the time that some summer tours start to wrap up, and I'm certainly winding down as well...

Today we begin with night three at Alpine Valley.

Very tasty stuff once again, and some of it (highlights from the three-night run) made it to an "official" 1997 DVD release called "Downhill from Here."  I always considered that title an accurate, if not amusing, bit of wordplay.

This is, again, a superb show.

Then we return to 1974, and make another stop in Fresno, at Selland Arena.

WALL OF SOUND

This is an outstanding show.  The portion of the second set beginning with "He's Gone" is just spectacular, and well-known in the Dead community as a result.  Enjoy it!
