    My first show

    First and only Grateful Dead show I attended. Real action was in the parking lot though some highlights:

    * Black kid on the skateboard with a nitrous balloon, just before the cops made the nitrous guy empty his tank

    * Taking a bath in the Bob car fountain

    * 10 hits of bunk acid I bought from a head selling “kind massages”

    gonna leave this brokedown palace

    Sounds like I'm not alone here: my last show - I was done. There was high demand, so the Dead tacked on one more show to the end of the tour; we lived in Orlando, so I was compelled to attend - it woulda been weird not to, with the 4 old-pal Deadheads staying at our place. Wish I'd stayed home: the scene had changed dramatically and I didn't want any part of it anymore, except for the music and my misty watercolor memories of the way we were. Thank god for the friends I made and tapes (of course, it had started to turn to CDs then). The fan (I won't say Deadhead, cuz this seems unlikely) who died at this show was fucked up on nitrous and pills, he passed out into a pond and drowned. What used to be inspiring and refreshing had become edgy and commercial. The Orlando run was a bitter way to drop out of seeing the Dead live. Once the stadium shows started, Deadheads were overwhelmed by party-seekers; there were a few converts to the cause, but it just tainted the whole thing for me. In short: GET OFF MY LAWN ;-]

    Over and Out
    It was long past over for me by this point. Brent was dead, the shows were spotty, the scene was decaying. A dude drowned right outside the venue. I could not be bothered to even really listen to what they were playing here. It was my final show -- my 26th over a span of 13 years. I'm glad some people got joy out of it. I didn't even listen to the Dead again until Dick's Picks started coming out at the end of '93. I've been on the retro-bus ever since. Didn't even go down the street to Tampa Stadium in '95. I did see Furthur in Atlanta this year and while it was no Dead show, it was a fun tribute.

such a mixed bag at these shows the shows themselves were pretty good but the scene outside was well what can you say not so great I remember a brother drowning in the pond outside I think it was the second night that just kinda well made it hard to have such a great time, it was my brothers first show on the 7th his birthday how does that happen? I don't know I guess there was just so much else going on to really truly rate the shows Peggy-o was great but when wasn't it and the NFA the last night seemed to be just enough of a lift to carry me through to Vegas baby Vegas
