That's funny cause the night before I consumed more substances than I ever had, or ever did/will again. This was my 3rd show and one of many for me that year. I remember that Dear Mr Fantasy blowing my mind cause I was a long time Traffic fan. Also seeing the people waist high in mud who hopped the fence and trucked through the swamp to get in. It was also next door to the then closed Lion Country Safari, which made for some interesting day trippin.

Seems like this was the year that a whole bunch of people just walked the fence to the ground and came in for free. The crowd opened up to accept them and immediatly closed back up to stop security forces. Amazing. Unfortunately, the Dead were banned from this venue but they would still allow Jerry's band or Bobby and the bassist to play there.
i dont think this was the full blown fence hoppin year. this sunday nite was extremely mellow. seemed like a light crowd compared to the years they played following this show.then 86 was still very cool. 87 little outa hand. 88 full blown outa hand crowd and gate crashers. sun show in 88 on easter sunday was fabulous..
Location
I think this is the show that I was so fried before hand that I got locked in a port-a-can in the parking lot. Thanks God I got out so I could see the show! Very hot Gloria to end it.
