The second set kicks off with an outstanding "Shakedown Street," where Jerry's ear-numbing jams and Phil's quirky bass bombs create a unique effect. The energy remains high with a nearly perfect "Jack Straw," followed by a bouncy "Stagger Lee."

The band delves into the extended jam portion with "Estimated Prophet," showcasing Jerry and Phil's improvisational prowess as they transition into "Eyes of the World." The joyous nature of "Eyes" gives way to a haunting "Drums" segment for Billy's birthday.
An eerie "Space" follows, and John Cipollina joins for "Not Fade Away," adding depth to the dance-inducing jams. Bobby's vocal antics lead into a poignant "Black Peter," with its sorrowful finale, before the set concludes with a high-energy "Around and Around."
The encore, "U.S. Blues," is a fitting conclusion to the evening, providing a much-needed study break for the students at Lafayette College. This show is a testament to the Grateful Dead's ability to connect with their audience through both laid-back and high-energy performances.
