-MIOIIUNE UEW and a Icw omers. The Dead had another surprise the next night: Weir opened the show with Junior Walker's “Road Runner” (a first for the Dead, though both the Garcia Band and Kingfish played it in the mid- ‘70s). That set also featured a wild “Supplication” jam, which, after one false start, eventually went into a stellar “Let It Grow.” “Uncle John’s Band” was the unexpected second-set kick- off, followed by two more unpredict- able moves, “Terrapin” and the reprise of “Playin” in the Band,” which seldom appears before drums. During the clos- ing “Sugar Magnolia,” Weir once again tempted fate by climbing the amplifier stacks (I wonder if a white arm sling would match his grey alligator shirt?) during the guitar break. When he came down, he casually tied his shoe before breaking into “Sunshine Daydream.” +5 pica TR aR iii
