My First Show...

...what a way to start. This show was awesome, especially the second set.

The Make-Up Show

This was the show they played to make-up the performance where everyone got in to the hall, and then Bobby announced that Jerry had pneumonia and couldn't play. (I was very lucky -- wasn't there the night they cancelled, but bought a ticket to the make-up show). A great show -- phenomenally strong Casey Jones to close it.

I swear I saw Jerry turn

I remember I was there with a huge group of friends, that was when you could buy full rows of seats via the box office, we had 2 rows on the floor in the 7-10th row area, all set for a great "trip" and Bobby came out to announce it was cancelled/postponed. I remember all of us looking at each other and saying "now what do we do for 3-4hrs" so we wandered around the New Haven Green enjoying the Christmas lights till we were able to drive home. The make up show was totally awesome, still have the radio station promo pin from WPLR that I got from a friend who worked and still works at the station
