Sam Boyd Silver Bowl - May 31, I don't remember which show, but it must have been one of the 92 shows at the Silver Bowl - my wife at the time was pregnant, due in October, and there was the most IMMENSE deluge sometime near the break between the first and second set.

As I recall, two buddies and I arrived at AM at the airport. We stayed at a casino that was at the end of the strip, La Hacienda and not too far from the Silver Bowl. The shows were all early in the afternoon which made it nice to enjoy the night life in Vegas.
I remember Blues Traveler was playing at a local club that weekend as well. Vegas shows were particularly good for the boys and the crowd responded well. The first set was your typical fare. Nothing especially note worthy. The second set kicked off nicely. I remember the audience really shaking during Scarlet. Woman Smarter was nice. The remainder of the set Steve Miller sat in and I could not tell there was an improvement, but in no ways was there any depreciation in the sound.
I have to say that Vince's playing was good through out the show and the Baba O'Rily encore was a nice surpise. Tommorow Never Knows was a thrill for me as well. I saw at least 10 shows during the run and this one was by far the best.
Reviewer: cringle - favorite favorite favorite favorite - February 2, Subject: Best Vegas Show This show is a a pretty good show for post Dead. Granted, the band is out of synch in a few conspicuous places - and Jerry does space a few lyrics - and yet I come away from this show thinking that it's still more vibrant, energetic and "on" than most of my repretoire of ' shows.
I have no '95s because they're so depressingly lackluster Killer setlists too. Steve Miller sits in on the last few songs of the 2nd set, which makes this show unique. You can sense Steve's reluctance to really jump in and make a splash I think the soundies were having trouble when Jerry switched to higher distortion solo mode, as there are a few times his guitar drops out of the mix when he starts soloing for about a minute until the soundies notice and boost it back up.
Don't blame Jerry - he's not nodding at the helm on this one - its the mix. The soundies use a trippy flange effect on the vocals at several points in the show.

Reviewer: feminatty - favorite favorite favorite favorite favorite - December 3, Subject: An "X-factor"Show This show had that magic ethereal experience.
The Dead shows in Vegas always had a lot of heat but this was by far the most energitic. I had a bonafide religious experience at this show, and not a pharmcologically acquired one either. You know when they open with Help on the Way slip into Franklins Tower its going to be a special show.
Nice Bird Song to round out the first set. Second set opens with a killer Scarlet Begonia and the music builds like an orgasm and lifts you up through Saint of Circumstance, Attics of my Mind and then completely goes over the top of with Morning Dew. You think, you and the band are spent and you've gone as high as you can, and they come back with an encore of Baba O' and Tomorrow Never Knows.
Unbelievable, you have been launched completely into the stratosphere. At this point I was able to see from one end of the universe to the other. Long after the band left the stage, there were people still dancing on the stadium floor and in the hallways. They were dancing simply to drumming created by banging on tables and other objects capable of producing a rhytmic sound.
It was a cosmic event, nobody wanted to leave, but the best part is the music still lives! Reviewer: steveCA - favorite favorite favorite favorite - August 31, Subject: vegas? But for some reason I don't like seeing the dead in vegas, maybe because its alway degrees. It's not much of a hiss but it's still a hiss! Drove down from Denver with a couple who I met just before the trip. I dosed on the way down to stay awake.
I was supposed to meet a friend who lived in Vegas to stay at his place, only to find out he moved out of his place the day before. I asked my ride to drop me off on the Strip. Walking down Las Vegas Blvd with my gear, tired, stressed and anxiously wondering what was next.
An older Deadhead couple noticed me and the lady asked me what was wrong I explained my predicament and she just smiled and told me all would be well. Not to worry. Moments later some good friends from Denver recognized me while driving on the same part of the Strip at the same time!
They stopped and I hooked up with the friend I was supposed to meet originally. All turned out fine! The shows were phenomenal: each one with its own unique quality I remember a horrific dust storm kicked up after the first show. Everybody blinded by dust, getting lost can't find their rides. Mickey sampled the slot machines and kept playing it during space. It was a great 3 day run. And of course a good time was had by all. Thanks for the memories.
Reviewer: El Santiago - favorite favorite favorite favorite - August 15, Subject: Good show Some really classic moments, but all in all not particularly great performances relative to what's out there. If you're nostalgic for this show, as I am, it's definitely worth getting.
If not, check out Attics, you may get nostalgic for this show even if you didn't attend! Someone post an audience recording! And so the first set rushed by like a dreamy dust storm with a delicate High Time , a raunchy pairing of Maggie's Farm and Cumberland Blues , and a soaring Cassidy.
The second set began simply enough, with Eyes of the World and a trippy Truckin'. All the while, ominous, black-as-night thunderheads marched towards us from the mountains behind the stage. Bobby Weir tempted fate by pulling out a Smokestack Lightning , and as the song played, lightning began to dance across the sky, creating a surreal synchronous backdrop to the stage — a backdrop that was getting closer by the beat.
By the time we got to Terrapin , we were completely surrounded by the storm, and lightning had begun to strike all around us. I looked down at our aluminum seats and out at the sea of microphone stands. A surge of dread swept through me, but there were Jerry and the boys strapped to their electric instruments. If they could take it, so could I.
But just as my confidence returned, Jerry unstrapped his guitar and ran for cover. It was time for Drums. Drums and a lot of fear and loathing. Looked up in the heavens, Lord I saw a mighty sign. I have to admit that I ran for cover myself during Drums. From Mickey's first crack of the snare, bolt after bolt of lightning came crashing down all around the stadium. For a few minutes, I stood in the tunnel leading to the innards of the stadium until I got up the nerve to return to our group of courageous travelers.
Then I cast my eyes towards the sky and saw an amazing sight: in the middle of the dark, highly charged clouds stood an inverted tower of concentric electrified circles heading up into infinity.
