We were wandering around the campground Sunday morning, still in an acid haze from the day before and running on very little sleep. There was a naked guy sitting under a palm tree with a spear. Another guy traded us clean water for our bong water so he could drink it (he did). Some poor soul lost it and cut his throat in a porta-potty during Ship of Fools. It was a heavy weekend, and the music reflected that, particularly the Terrapin>Drums>Space>Dew sequence.
i can't believe someone commented on this - i unfortunately used that same portapotty and was pretty freaked out when i came out and was told the news - i had to breathe deeply to keep from coming down hard. bad vibes suck. good shows and times in ventura though.
Among the best Terrapin and Morning Dew of the 1980s!
I think this crazy savage train came smashing in backstage with its horn blairing during cassidy. I'm not sure of anything anymore.
I would like to hear a tape of this show so I can know if it really did happen or was it me just trippin.
I had just graduated from high school, were fresh in from a cross country jaunt in a beige '66 VW panel van, having dropped off some friends at the airport in NYC!!! The road trip was memorable and the homecoming was absolutely stupendous. I had been listening to the Dead for a couple of years, and we jammed out to some great tapes on that trip, though I had no real idea what was about to hit me... We went to the Saturday show too, and it was totally fun, but honestly folks, Sunday floored me completely, inside and out and I haven't looked back or gotten off the bus - ever! Sky high, like dancing over the moon, effortlessly and soaking up the sonic ecstasy with a cheshire grin the whole damn show. Needless to say, I couldn't find our car afterward, and I couldn't see straight for twelve more hours, and the whole time I had Terrapin echoes going, going, going, god that was awesome, ha ha ha!
Location
Woo hoo! Take me back. Hangin' out on the beach over the grade from LA. I wouldn't live there but is a great place to see a Dead show.
Dancin'! Uhhh what up with the Day job? I Just Want To Make Love and I always thought that Midnight Hour was a great tune that fit the Dead and their style.
