which is a supremely boring drive

The Dead played 4 shows in Binghamton.

Their 1970 Harpur college show is legendary, rated in the top 5 of their performances. I was a bit too young to see that one.

I saw them in Binghamton in 1977, 1979 and 1983.

The '77 show was especially great, and was released as an album.

They pretty much played well in all of their upstate NY shows. Upstate was like the East Coast mecca for the Dead from some strange reason.
