Actually, it was lightning that struck the stage, knocking out the power...the thunder can be heard quite clearly on the audience tapes...I was there as well.

The Dead left the stage only to return a short time later when power was restored. The Dead started to play The Promised Land again at the point where they lost power and played the song through to the end. I was at this show. It was 104 degrees that day. This would make for a more accurate note for show in Deadlists. Thanks! Bryan
