Hartford has a reputation for hosting some fine shows, and tonight is no exception.This is it. The big one. Fireworks both on and off the stage as the Grateful Dead play what is most likely the show of the tour with a staggering seven songs before drums, causing much consternation among tapers, yet satiating the Hartford crowd. Some amazing stuff. And Comes A Time is the one song to rule them all. From the show:"Comes A Time is the crown jewel of the tour. It will be placed in a glass viewing case in the Museum of Collected Deadhead Minds and occasionally loaned to others for viewing. The Deadhead Trust association has an endowment totaling thousands of dollars to ensure it is safely and securely cared for. The fact that we are here is no accident. Comes A Time appears to fulfill a unique role in our lives. As there are varying degrees of fandom, we await our turn, and the coaxing that brings forth a fully realized version of ourselves.
