Back to back Peters (uggghhh)
This is the first time I saw Jerry repeat the same post drums ballad 2 nights in a row (I think he forgot he played it the night before :)
I don't think he forgot.
He screwed up the lyrics the first night and my impression was he was trying to get it right the second night.
shut out
this was the only show of this tour that I got shut out of. My girl, at the time, & I found an awesum crew, with a killer sound system & we partied just as if we were inside. Must've been 30 of jammin' in the lot. That's the night I meet Benji & Scotti!! What up brothers?? R.I.P. Benji.
I was with the radio broadcast crew that night
Really cool experience. Got there just in time...screwed up the voiceover intro when they said we were "on" but had a lot of fun hearing the band from a different perspective. The years have dimmed the memory a bit but I recall pretty high energy both sets. I also remember the cops...Jesus, the cops everywhere! Worcester was not kind to Deadheads in '88. I lived there then and they actually passed a resolution banning the band from playing there again (which was lifted a couple years later when they realized how much money Deadheads brought to the city). This year's tour was the first time The Boys have been back since I think.
Went solo to this. 16 yrs old. my parents dropped me off. WOW
incredible experience. Went to show totally solo and just focused in on the band. Met folks w/ a BONG in the rafters during Drums/Space. WOW... this show was unreal. My first "Let It Grow" I was blown away by it. The Black Peter took me out as well.
The crazy effects during Uncle John's. wow.
