Today we bring you another concert I attended, starting with the opening act, Robert Hunter.  The first 3 times I saw Jerry Garcia, in 1978, 1980 and this show on August 8, 1984, 42 years ago today as captured in this excellent audience recording,  his long time song writing partner served as his lead in. Hearing Hunter live is always a unique experience, as his take on the countless tunes he wrote with Jerry is often so different than how they sound when played by the Grateful Dead.  Download this one, then come back later today for Jerry Garcia's headlining performance.
