60,000 Deadheads can’t be wrong—the legendary band’s first-ever Soldier Field concert is considered one of the greats, and the Dead also played their final show together there four years later. The three-hour session includes “Shakedown Street,” “Brown-Eyed Women,” “Playing In The Band,” “Terrapin Station” and a glorious jam of “Dark Star,” the Holy Grail of a Dead concert. You’ll experience it with the startling new sound system, one of the best north of New York City, that we recently installed in the Orpheum’s big theater. (U.S., 1991, 178m)
