Visions of yellow jackets
Visions of yellow jackets swarming the lot packed in the rubber band van looking to crack skulls. We knew their routine. Great show!
What a memory
Drove from Colorado and picked up my brother for the JFK/Giants/RFK mini-tour. This show was on his birthday. Brutally hot. Had the shits all day in the parking lot - looking for porta-johns that weren't overflowing...........ugggh. So, in celebration of his birthday, me and my bro get a few balloons and bring back to the little commune established between all of our neighbors cars (ahhh - the days of camping in the lot). He takes 3 or 4 successive breaths of nitrous and let's go of his balloon and falls face first into the middle of our set-up (tables, coolers, etc.) and right onto a burning grill. He starts flopping around like a fish and I'm thinking about explaining this to next of kin. We roll him off the burning embers and he wakes up and smiles and says YEAAAHHH!!, THAT WAS AWESOME. He got cut off from balloons for the rest of the trip. What a great show. We tripped in the upper deck and watched the lower bowl oozing over the wall onto the field - what mayhem. Love the memories.......Peace
Great Show
I remember I was down on the Dead. Too many shows with "new songs" that I wasn't into. I was in Albany during summer school. The Dead were playing mere hours away. Jon and I took the Hammerhead down to Jersey and the boyz rocked. The Shakedown->Jackstraw made me realize that all was good and never complained about the "new songs" again.
This show is definately a keeper!

nice set list
agree the security was just about the worst, the musichelped though.remember the sound being pretty good for a stadium.lost my tape of this show if anyone can help please let me know thanks
Great Opener
I too jumped at the start...but made it in front of Jerry for the great Shakedown Jack
They scene was crazy on lot
They scene was crazy on lot but even more crazy when Skakedown opened and the mass of humanity poured over the wall that was as entertaining as the band, those walls were high @ Giants. The liquid was clean and the band was solid all night. Loved the Brokedown since the pay pre view from Shoreline cut out on Brokedown. We started in Buffalo and ended @ RFK this was my favorite of the summer.

FIRST SHOW
Show left an indelible impression..........the silhouettes against that sunset, bipping and bopping to Goin Down the Road..........thinking this is what it's all about.
I've been hooked ever since.........
suchastoke....
Having Los Lobos open was like saying the band was not only famous now, but International...the buzz was beyond description.

Shakedown
I was sitting up in the high sections, and I remember the lights shaking as they opened up- the light towers were bouncing to the beat- It was a little freaky to see how much they moved, and I was thinking of the sympathetic frequency that brought down the Tacoma Narrows bridge in 1940 (Famous footage of it whipping up and down then apart).
I found out a recent friend was at the show, and he broke his ankle jumping over the wall at the beginning.
