Hiya Folks!

Red Rocks - if you've been there, you know what I'm talking about. If you haven't, you should go there this summer if at all possible.

This is from the second of the band's first two-night stand at this fabled venue - and I think it's safe to say that they were digging it as much as we do.

This is certainly once of the 'all time great' G.D. shows, capped off by one of the coolest encore's they ever did.

While they certainly have lost some of the tight professionalism of '77 by this time - they've replaced it with sheer animal energy, a fair trade in my opinion! ;)

We're nearing the end of the Keith and Donna era here, and I think it's pretty obvious why - especially when compared to what Brent Mydland would bring to the table less than a year from this show.

That said - this is still one of my favorite shows!

The music:

Promised Land->Deal, Estimated Prophet->The Other One->Eyes of the World... ...Space->Wharf Rat->Franklin's Tower->Sugar Magnolia, Werewolves of London (!)
