	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.
