Nice NY Times summary of the Dead's final run

[hal]

Glad you had a good time DavidS. I had a similar experience in SC. It's really remarkable being part of an 80000 person crowd where EVERYBODY is at peak happiness. It's pretty shocking to the uninitiated, but you get the hang of it pretty quickly.

Although the first and last Chicago shows were really good, I'm so glad that the only one that I went to (SC#1) featured the OLDEST material - my favorite era.
