===================================================================================================
the tour story:
For the previous days' show I recalled the lengthy story of us driving into New York City very early this day trying to avoid rush hour traffic for our return. We eventually got out of the city onto I-95 by Noon or so, eating at a diner where we had two meals at one time, then making it to New Haven barely in time to get everything together for using Sean's new Sony TCD5M at this show. We met Gary and Greg at the motel and headed to the venue. Judging from the lack of sources on archive.org there must have been some heavy security this night. Of the AUD sources there is only three sources, two accurately identified and the Da Weez-D5Scott Beyer M160 version is the best on there, a notch above this Beyer m201 recording in my opinion.

The show had a nice long first set. The Bertha took a minute or so to start sounding right as typical Healy, but then the band was tight and it seemed motivated. Jerry's vocals were rough out of the gate but even Bobby's On Greatest Story were as well by this point of the tour.  For the middle four songs of this tape, the right channel went out and I had to make these tracks dual mono from the Left channel so they are bit flat and not the same sound quality. Sound quality aside, the Candyman and Bird Song were well played, with a long ending jam. Brent had a great synthesizer and piano riffs with Phil bouncing around alongside him. Back to Stereo and Jerry delivered a Ramble on Rose which for me, was the highlight of the set. Jerry does a nice, loping solo with cracklin vocals and the crowd singing back at him.

A short but tight China > Rider ended on a Jerry jam outro and Iko-Iko tease Bobby turned into Women Are Smarter. Jerry actually sings the ending duet style with Bob much to the crowd's delight! A pretty He's Gone gave way to a spacey jam sounding as if it would lead somewhere but just gave way to drums as Jerry left first, and only Bobby stayed until the drums took over. A slow lead into the Other One and they finish with a well played but standard setlist. The Sugar Magnolia is a hip shaker, even all these years later!

A final mention regarding the GDTS (Grateful Dead Ticket Sales) crew. Eileen Law, Steve Marcus and friends got the OK and contractual inclusion from Cameron Sears to create booklets of tickets, one per each venue, for their fans. This spring tour they sold a booklet of 13 tickets for the incredible price of $121 + shipping. You had to request the tickets in a lottery of sorts by sending your Postal Money Order with a 3 x 5 card you had to write very specific instructions on. Of course, Tom and Sean and I took advantage of this and we had a total of four tour booklets. If you look through the jpg files of these archive.org posts and on the header pages you will see many of these lovingly designed images on the ticket stubs. Eileen was also in charge of the Grateful Dead archives and helped arrange delivery of the extensive catalog in 2009 to the UC Santa Cruz.
