Excellent show that suffered from some mean rain and winds which fucked with the sound arrays, at least where I was standing. Good thing we have the soundboard release now. Highly recommend the Gaia sandwich. Opens with Stu saying "try again" and the crowd goes wild because we all thought he said "Dragon" lol.

The Salt Shed run came on the heels of Dead & Company's last 2 shows in Chicago at Wrigley Field. The band attended the Saturday show (as did I, and it was astounding), and it sure showed in this River, with parts that sounded like Dark Star, Fire on the Mountain, Space, you name it. One of my favorite songs they've ever performed.

The Magma and EDR are also expectedly killer. Not a bad moment in the show, just bad venue sound due to weather.
