This was an Incredible set! I heard a rumor in line that Bonnie would be opening. She was on fire, and was at the top of her game in '89 with a hot new comeback CD, 'Nick Of Time.' I remember that she was stoked to be onstage with the Dead, and commented to the deadheads at the beginning of the set, "If you're as ready as you smell, you're happenin!" I was in the second row of the tapers section with my buddy Gene's Sony TCD-D10 DAT and Nakamichi CM-300 shotguns. 20 years later I am Still sick that I didn't have an extra DAT blank and battery for the D10 for her set. I recorded it with my D6 but the D10 would have done such a better job. I find that, over the years, it is Bonnie's set that I listen to far more than the Dead's set from this night. I've seen Bonnie a number of times since this show but I've never heard one of her sets that sounded like this one did. I can't believe that it was almost 20 years ago! Wow!
