    The Grateful Dead played a horrible show at Madison Square Garden in
    New York City. It was the last show of a 9 show run ad Jerry was
    loosing his voice. It was also a benefit show with some guests that
    the GD were not normally associated with, they played b"backing band"
    to them.
    We weren't able to get tickets, so we tried to miracle tickets to no
    avail. I had my VHS HiFi recorder set and the stereo set to record
    the WMMR broadcast, and got it all. I transferred this show to
    cassette and after a few listens, I came to the conclusion that this
    show sucked. Don't like H&O, nor Suzanne Vega here.
