Not much to say about Jerry’s last show that hasn’t been said, but I’m just so very grateful to have been there. I wish I could’ve been old enough to hit some earlier era shows, but I’ll take what I was able to see & be happy with it.
The world is a much better place with the musical legacy the Dead/Jerry left for us.

planning on skipping seastones. don’t @ me
potential sheep question - optimal number of beats leading into BIDTL
so, between songs… amongst the crowd noise are yells of “hey, sit down!”
1974-06-18 - Freedom Hall - Louisville, KY
One of the shows I’ve listened to the most. My friend Bill Baker (RIP) gave me a copy years ago. I’d only ever listened to official releases before that. He told me more than once that anytime I see an early second set WRS in '74 that I should listen. I’ve never put that to the test but I sure loved this show.

Bobby fans will love this show, he is out front and dominant in the mix. Really cool to hear since Bobby gets lost in other mixes a lot of the time. The China>Rider will shut up any Bobby hater. It’s a very early post-pigpen show, you can see how they transitioned nicely into '73.

Released commercially as Dick’s Picks Vol 24, 03/23/74 at the Cow Palace was the first dead live show I ever listened to. I bought the two disc CD from a borders, as it was the only dead show there. I wore it out in my truck for years. You could argue this was the dead show that set the hook, but it took a while to reel me in fully, as my ADD and hyper critical nature caused me put up a bit of a fight
