A very special show, what a thrill to see Dylan backed by the Dead and to see Jerry play pedal steel.

During the afternoon of this day I went to the US Open Tennis Mens Finals and watched Stephan Edberg systematically destroy Jim Courier with his lightning-fast serve and volley game. The official start time of the mens finals was listed as 1pm, but I don’t think it started on time. During the match my companion and I had moved into court-side seats because someone nice had arranged for us to sit there, just a few rows up off the court.
So it was a little difficult trying to explain how much I appreciated that when I also knew we had to leave early in order to make it to MSG for this Dead show on that evening. We arrived a little late but were settled in our seats by the time they played a smoking version of Big River, a few songs into the first set.

Some nice ticket stubs from this Garden run, I believe the three I have are all from a mail-in order to the GD Ticket Sales Office .

Dylan and his band opened, and sadly, the stadium remained almost empty during much of his performance.

The stamp on my return envelop contained the American flag with "Old Glory" written underneath, which appears in the lyrics sang by Jerry in "Standing on The Moon".
