but it sure was HOT inside. Check out the DarkStar>Eyes>China sequence. In fact, entire 2nd set cooked, with A squared > GDTRFB & the Saturday night encore. Drove over from Oxford, OH via West Lafayette, IN with Jeff, John, Michael T, and Pete. Regarding the post above, I'd never seen Herman's Hermits nor the Hollies; wonder if either group did some long jams w Bus Stop or Henry the 8th?
Yes the Hollies would jam out on Bus Stop. Here's a partial setlist from a Hollies gig I attended long ago:
Bus Stop> jam> Bus Stop> drums> space> jam> He Ain't Heavy He's My Brother> Bus Stop (reprise).
It rocked.
I remember Jerry playing with New Riders of The Purple Sage both nights. I was just awesome. He played thier whole show then played the Deads whole show. what a fantastic 2 nights. Well from what I remember.
Location
someone at dinner came up with 2 tix. I had only heard about the dead from the reference in Hair & the dishwashers where I ate dinner used to sing Casey Jones. My only other rock shows had been herman's hermits & the hollies back in 67 & Steve Goodman in high school.
Wow!!!! what an experience. sat up in c section & thru the smoke it was a life altering experience.
