I see Boston. But no date. I've got 11 Boston shows. All from the 70s. That looks like an 80s or 90s show w/ the Dylan slot.

The run of September '91. My only east coast shows. I was 27 and went to the shows on an invite from someone I met at the Vegas shows. Those were some times! WALSTI was. I crashed on the floor of a friend of a friend, didn't know anybody, and was the only Wharf Rat around. It was great.
The Beacon Theater Betty Boards from '76 are really good. Great energy.

Yep. The 6/14 show is the gem of the Box Set for me. An occasion where the show is just as tasty as the set list.

Played Huntington '78 (4/16/78) last night. Best ever "Peggy-O" and the transition from "Estimated" to "Eyes" melted all the bad away.
Loves me a good transition aka segue, check out the segue on China>Rider from Stanford 2/9/73 Keith starts it on the piano the boys fall into place and Billy drives them home, it's quite seamless and very tasty

It was a 6 night engagement at the fabled Boston Garden in all her old timey, no AC glory. They played 3 nights straight then a night off then another 3 straight. I went to them all and some how went to work each morning. By the end I was delirious from lack of good sleep and too much of whatever I was into at that time.
Bobby tore the place up with a kick-ass rendition of Sugar Magnolia I'm not kidding when I say the rafters in the upper seating areas were literally shaking up & down as the crowd went ape Sh&t.
Other cool aspects of those shows was the Dead were aloud to hang a full size banner up in the rafters among all of the Bruins & Celtics championship banners and the Yellow Disco Van was in full force (think colorful balloons) on a side street off of Causeway Street (the main drag) one night.

With teaching at home I have time and opportunity to listen my tapes! Currently spinning the Dylan/Dead set from Eugene 7/19/87. Didn't get to see these. Was still in my first year of recovery and didn't think it a good idea to hit the scene. 34 years later don't know if it was good idea or not. Judas Priest and Deadman really stand out.

Any Dave's 34 arrivals anywhere today? Nothing here in the State of Nanny.
