Loved this one, Casey was great. This was the first time I got up front. My friends and I were about 10-15 ft from the stage for Steve Miller and the entire first set. That was great. It was a beautiful day, I thought Jerry actually looked good and he looked happy. I remember all the boys smiling and having a good-old time up on stage. I really miss the live music and the energy, I'll never forget those days.

Our toyota van blew up after Charlotte and we were stuck in a hotel along I-95. I thought I was going to miss yet another RFK. Then Dave (my tour partner) told me to keep going and he would wait for the repairs and catch up where ever that may be. I put my pack on and headed over to a gas station where heads had been fueling up all day. I hopped in a 65' VW transport carrying a sign stating "we need pot". I traded for a ride to D.C. As we entered D.C. once again I was in a van that blew up! This time we were close, so close we called AAA and had them tow us into the lot! Everyone cheered as we sat on the roof being towed in. The show wasn't the best but the whistle and Casey that followed was beautiful. After the Casey I turned around and there was Dave standing right behind me smiling. His parents drove from Ohio in their 85' westfalia to the hotel along I-95, gave him their ride, rented a car and drove home! Unbelievably cool parents. So we finished the summer in style! Thanks to Dave, his parents, and Jerry for the Casey Jones. That trip was so good I decided to name my black lab Casey Jones a few years later and it turns out he is as cool as that trip was!

was:
veggie burritos sold out of a big pink school bus with a vw bus welded on top
steve Miller riding a bicycle in the parking lot pre-show
Field tickets
Jerry's hair long & flowing, blowing in the wind
tripping my face OFF
