2nd Set Freak Out
First Show
My first show... didn't realize how special a night it was till later on.
First Show
I knew it was awesome while I was there as I had heard enough Grateful Dead to realize that Darkstar was something that I wanted to hear. On the bus to the show everyone was buzzing about the Hampton Shows and I wanted either H S F or Darkstar or both..... Monumental first show and possibly the best show I attended although it is hard to say..
My First Dark Star !
The First set was above average and Dark Star was in the air ...Bleak scene though with mean and rude security ,, Show was great,,, Philly had a better Vibe on the lot and inside I thought, more comfortable anyway..
Better Than High School
When I found out the Grateful Dead had pulled a Dark Star out of their hat at Hampton Rhodes a few nights before this I ditched high school, sold my baseball collection, and convinced a girl I knew to let me pay for gas if she would drive to New Jerseys with me to see this run of shows. When we got to New Jersey she met some dude from Austria, kicked me out of her car, and gave him my clothes, my bootleg tape collection, and my seat in her car. I only got into the 3rd night, when they played Help->Slip->Franklin's, and this night, the 5th in the run.
It was absolutely worth the effort, the difficulties being alone without a way home, and the massive trouble I got into for running away from home and essentially dropping out of high school. I stayed in the east coast and did the rest of the 1989 fall tour, I got into every single show after this one and had a blast.
But this was the one - this show stands out like a glittering gem in my mind from the whole tour, my first, and best Dark Star, and the thrill of being out on my own, on the road by myself for the first time in my life.
What a show. I'll remember it for the rest of my life.
