A great excuse to revisit
A great excuse to revisit the ol' college town. Man, those guys were still keeping up the party tradition. Nothin' left to do...
4th of July!
We were coming out after the show and it was like a war zone. There was a big parking deck next to the indoor arena and some guys had some serious fireworks and they were shooting them at the crowd as everybody was coming out of the show. I thought it was dangerous but intense at the same time. The show was somewhat of a letdown after the previous shows and that we were expecting more from a 4th of July show. Great fun still.

Fireworks
Dougles, I too remember well those fireworks, just as you described it. Those guys were throwing fire down on top of cars as well and two cops on foot were like oh crap we can´t let this go on but were seriously intimidated by the numbers of heads. Too bad really cause this must have contributed to the Dead´s never going back to CR.
This shows how different
This shows how different people see shows from different perspectives. This is one of my all-time favorite shows. I thought that they made up for the weak show from the previous night. First of all it was in a small venue, we were in the first row of the balcony with great seats. It reminded me of the good old days at the Uptown Theatre except you didn't have the fear that the balcony was going to collapse. The start of the second set Help, Slipknot, Franklin's was mind-blowing. How could you not get into that Estimated into He's Gone? By the way the He's Gone was dedicated to someone (Paul) that was killed on the road from KC during that torrential rain. This wasn't just an individual opinion. I was with 3 friends and each will tell you that it was a perfect night. Coming out of the show with the fireworks war between the two parking lots even seemed natural as well. I remember having a rocket bomb landing at my feet and thinking, well, this is interesting, but I didn't have any fear. Neither did the cops, they just stood and smiled, even when it stopped a train and forced it to back up.
I don't remember the
I don't remember the "Fireworks War" outside. I recall taking an elevator from inside the show, up to my room in the hotel
above the Center. There was however a fire alarm in same hotel at some point after midnight.
How did you like Brent "Singing His Solo" on the Friend of The Devil?
Fireworks and rainbow Paul
It was a pretty small place, and we were there all day, saw the people passing the petition over and over again....That was a he
's Gone for the ages, melancholy and philosophical.....Great show, but those fireworks were crazy. It looked like a war zone....cept more colorful.

And I will lay my love around you...~
One of the best of 84!
I was about 4 rows from the stage and they were right there.
Excellent show all the way!
From the Drummers Choice to the very end!
The war zone was one of the craziest scenes.
Cedar Rapids had no idea what was explode on their front lawn. The Dead on the 4th of July... What were they thinking???
