I have auds of both the Dead show and Patti's opener that day. (Not sure
what time of day it was.)   This is the show with Patti's famous little bit
about wandering out from backstage at an earlier Dead show (during a long 
instrumental, drawn by the microphone) then getting dragged off ... imagine 
if she'd been allowed to
cut loose with a babelogue :-) Here's the Patti info:

Disk 1
(Patti Smith Group)
01. Redondo Beach
02. Mr.Tambourine Man
03. 25th Floor
04. It's So Hard
05. Patti's Grateful Dead Fillmore East Story
06. Jailhouse Rock
07. Because the Night
08. Seven Ways Of Going
09. Gloria/cut
Disk 1:
 AUD LINEAGE UNKNOWN > CASSETTE > M-AUDIO TRANSIT > COOL EDIT > CD WAVE 
EDITOR > FLAC

I have no idea what "M-AUDIO TRANSIT" signifies ;-).

Right now it's in flac (lossless compressed) format, both Dead and Patti on
a single DVD.  The MD5's check out, but I haven't had a chance to listen to
it yet.  I'm copying it to the hard drive as I type and will give it at
least a spot check in the next day or few.  I'd be happy to set up trades,
either as flac or audio CD.
[A bit later ... the sound quality is ok if you're used to traded cassettes. 
Some tape hiss, but at least I find it listenable.  Haven't listened tothe 
Dead sets yet.]

I'm pretty sure this was the only show Patti opened for the Dead.
