Bobby: "All right, now we're gonna play everybody's favorite fun game, 'Move Back.' Now, when I tell you 'take a step back,' everybody take a step back, right? Right! Okay, take a step back, and take another step back, and take yet another step back, and another, take a step back. Everybody feel better? ... What do you mean, 'No'?"
Jerry: "Now, see, all these people in front are getting horribly smashed here. So that means all you people in the back have to move back--"

This is widely regarded as the single best show in the history of the Grateful Dead. Whether true or not, this show is truly mind-blowing. On my tape, "New Minglewood Blues" to "Brown-Eyed Women" are B+ quality, and "Mama Tried" to "One More Saturday Night" are A+ quality from bootleg soundboard CD.
