I prefer the night before as a few of my favorite versions were played but this one is good too. I remember reading in Relix at the time that Mickey said they kissed the sky; And the setlist is pretty good.

Agree Doolittle, It's a solid '85 show, strong set list. I had this one back then; always liked the weird
Miracle-->China-->Rider set opener.
Irvine Meadows was the first venue where I saw Garcia in Southern California. Garcia Band 5-19-89. Probably the longest Don't Let Go I ever saw, and it was OUT THERE.
Also saw his 50th Birthday show there, 8-1-92, front row. A very fun time; I was sorry I never got to see the Dead there.
Thanks Johnny, you reminded me I saw the bust-out of Louie Louie in Hartford a few weeks before you saw Irvine. Pretty unexpected!
So I decided to look:
-They did it Once in '67, one in '69 and then 5 in '88 and the last one in '89 in.....Louisville!!!!!
They did have a sense of humor once in a while.
