Notes:
A classic recording from the last of the mega-stadium days.  I think this
show speaks more to
Grateful Dead history than anything spectacular musically.

This was my fist and only trip to Soldier Field and I was totally blown away
by the size.
I had never seen a stadium gig.  By July of '95 I'd managed to hit 23 dead
shows.  And by
number 24 I was beginning to feel like somewhat of a vertaran. (yeah right)
I had no idea
what I was in for.  I had floor seats that night but actually went back to
the taper section
to plug-in. I had a great view of the entire stadium sitting front row of
the balcony-like
section that sat over the entrance to the floor.  The Band opener was
largely
forgettable.  The stadium started filling up in usual style during the
Band's set and
somewhat afterwards.  From the opening notes of Jack Straw I had the most
amazing feeling
and was totally overwhelmed by the size of the whole thing.  I couldn't
believe this many
people, all together all listening to the dead. It was just too much.  And
it was a picture
perfect night.  The sun was going down and had a nice reflection off the
lake, it was simply beautiful.

The hightlight of this show is ofcourse the Visions of Johanna.  Mona Lisa
sure musta had
the highway blues that night.  That moment right there made the entire trip
(from Ohio) worth it.
A classic night sealed in time by Mr. Nutter's terrific recording.

Enjoy these tapes and remember the happiness the Grateful Dead has provided
for all of us.
