Had no idea what to expect when I took my seat for this show at The Felt Forum. After the NRPS set I was getting ready to leave and my friend said that the Dead hadn't even played yet. With the opening of Truckin' a neon sign flashing Grateful Dead dropped and hung behind the band as two skeletons did the same on either side of the stage. My 17 year old lysergic soaked brain took it all in. A life changing experience for sure. Been on the bus ever since!

Run Rudolph Run?!? As in, the red-nosed reindeer? Wow. Learn something new here all the time.

Now to find that long-lost cover of You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch. (With Pig singing, of course.)

Were there any other times they did "Christmas tunes"?

(I can think of one that might qualify as Easter ... Little Bunny Foo Foo.

I wonder whose idea the drop-down neon sign was, and what Jerry thought of it.
