Subject: Chinese New Yeart '93 Chinese New Year shows were always a treat and '93's was no exception. As usual there was an opening act and this year it was a troope of Chinese Acrobats. If you've never seen Chinese acrobats its hard to describe other than to say what they can do is truly unbelievable. Their finally was this girl up on a 20'unicycle doing this trick where she would kick bowls up on top of her head. She kept adding more and more bowls until she already had 15 or so on her head and six balanced on one foot. When she kicked the six up on top the crowd went absolutely nuts. People, including me, had tears of joy running down our face. Sure, the mushies I had eaten an hour before certanly helped but, seriously folks, Jerry and the Boys have never even gotten such an enthusiastic reaction from the crowd. I'm not kidding!

The acrobats were a hard act to follow but the Dead delivered. The first set was nothing out of the ordinary but well played. The 2nd set had a smokin Eyes>Estimated> Terrapin that led into the Drumz and Dragon Dance/Chinese New Year Parade. After Drumz we were given another treat as Carlos Santana came out for Space and played for the rest of the show. The Gloria encore was really rocking with Jerry and Carlos trading leads.

I should also mentiuon that the sound quality here is great. One of the best AUD I have heard. This one is well worth the download.
