Arrived in DC nearly dry now from the experience in NC. Hit the stage before the show to see if we could bum buds. But better yet, we got a handful of tickets & passes from a friend.
Headed out to shakedown street to perform miracles. Could have easily traded for buds but that ain't the "deal". Besides, no need too. When your handing out miracle tickets everyone has a spleef to pass you. "Instant Karma" works both ways for sure!
Funny watching all the heads trying to figure out what this hillbilly was doing on a Grateful Dead stage! Till he broke into "truckin", he stole their harts... Go Dwight!
What a fantastic day! I had NO idea what was up & wondered why people were walking around with their fingers up! :) I didn't even realize they had gone to set break...I was still dancing! I was sooo green :) Had a bunch of friends there that day, fresh off some time at the beach. I know it's cliche, but this show changed my life! I enjoyed the time Bruce Hornsby spent with the band.
Man was it hot that day on the asphalt before the show... i remember having my very first Gerry Garcia ice cream from a vendor..it was magical too say the least..saved my space..great show!!!
This show is rightfully enshrined in official release as View From the Vault II. Jerry was all over it all night. Doesn't get better than Help -> Slipknot! -> Franklin's -> Estimated -> DARK STAR. This was the Help/Slip I'd always wanted to see, they'd had it out long enough to really stretch on it, as they had circa Merriweather '84 (which I just missed). And I hadn't seen Dark Star yet, was out of the country the previous year at RFK.
Outstanding versions of Stella Blue and Lovelight (with its prankstery false ending). Wonderful 1st set, too, especially Black-Throated Wind.
Very memorable show, and it was a stadium, even.

for the quintiple posting.....I always wondered how/why some people did that, and now it's gone and happened to me.
Well, hey, while I'm here ~ really fun Maggie's Farm, too, eh? Phil's and Bruce's verses are my favorite. If you watch the DVD, you can really see how much Bruce enjoyed playing with Jerry.
Location
yes! Friend! It absolutely was the night planets aligned that we could theoretically see - especially good while standing on those stupid chairs!
