complete??

There is no way to describe this show?? All of the published setlists can't really do it
justice as this is like no other "show" I've ever heard. Here are the notes I made when I first got this years ago:

DISC ONE:
1./LOVELIGHT>JAMS>NOT FADE AWAY JAM>LOVELIGHT 34:38
-P.A. problems during - no vocals - unable(unwilling?) to fix show deteriorates into chaos.
2.Random audience members at the mic/Chaos/Chanting 40:01
track 2 as follows:
...at the mic
chanting>
Drums @14:00>
chanting>
kid stumbles onstage and takes the mic @ 17:00>
(the Dead has let the audience have the stage however it appears once an audience member
begins to play one of the drummers kit's - the mood turns less than hospitable)
mystery drummer gets his ass kicked/thrown off the drumset @19:00>
Crowd/Chaos @22:00
cuts @ 25:00



DISC TWO:

1.THE SEVEN JAM> 11:08
2.FUNKY JAM/SPACEY JAM> 6:43
3.FUNK JAM #2> 17:36
Track 3 as follows:
with unknown percussionist (Richie Havens opened this show - one of his percussionists could have joined
the Dead or an audience member - both drummers are audible PLUS this percussionist)
percussion jam @ 10:42>
nice Phil @ 11:00>
Jerry solo @13:00 >
Space @ 16:00>
4.THE OTHER ONE JAM 12:58
-long jams with no vocals - no rules - a truely unique Dead show.
