Elective played very well. Personally not a fan of Seaside I feel it represents the worst of what New Jersey has to offer but those that went into the show seemed to be a very good Dead crowd. Many familiar faces everybody seemed to have a very good time dancing although not easy dancing in the sand. We got down the best we could! Some highlights were Box of Rain opener, a deal to end the set that came as close as can be to the Grateful Dead when Jerry was having a good night, mission in the rain a very good funky Corrrina and a Low Spark coming out of space very good! when Jeff broke a string towards the end band went into a Low Spark Jam until he got restrung. Very fun show good concert grounds and could ramble on down to the waves breaking on the ocean... Nicole and I had a blast 😄

Terrific original recipe in Baltimore last night - we were rewarded with a killer second set after a rain storm cut the first set a bit short.

Of all the moments that qualify as a go-to for revisiting any given show, what lights me up about this one is the Brent jam in Big River. Goes to show you don't ever know...
