The Dead kick off their 1988 East Coast Fall Tour with a 5-day 4-show run at the Capitol Center, one of the largest indoor venues the Dead play, holding 23,000 happy deadheads. With on-site camping the nearby parking lot turned into a huge vendor scene. Unquestionably the highlight of the shows was the day #2 return of an electric “Ripple” – its first performance in 17 years.
