GD Parking Lot
A.August
My buddies and I road tripped that summer. We found ourselves in wisconsin on the day of this show.
We were able to get tix...everybody say Yay!!
The parking lot was a golf course and there was a steady rain. That was as entertaining as the show. we hung out in our van with the side door open and recorded (audio) the goings on. Tents blowing around and their people chasing after them "did you see my tent blow by?", people wandering with inverted umbrellas, one head looking for his people ( he had really good orange juice). He had a friend named Bean. Apparently "Bean" got hit on the head with a hockey puck so they call him Bean. He did stop it from going in the goal.
Every so often I'll put in that tape and time travel. What a Blast !!
Crazy Rain!
I remember this one as being one of the funniest and most fun shows I ever went to. The parking lot was one laugh after another, with most of them coming from these 3 kids next to us who looked like the Hanson Brothers from slap shot. They had trouble with their tent, the grill wouldnt stay lit for their hot dogs, they all left and bought matching tye-dye shirts, it rained and the rain flowed down the hill right into their tent, poor guys, it was a riot for us to watch though. We dosed up about an hour or two before the show so that added fuel to the fire.
The show itself was a continuation with the non-stop rain. We were soaked and mud from head to toe, but we didnt care much. I always liked the rain shows but it really started to pour during of all songs, "Looks Like Rain". I remember the end of that song where Bobby's doing all the "hear comes the rain" stuff, and the thunder got louder and more intense, and the rain just pounding. (I swear those guys could control the weather).
It cleared up a bit for the second set, a good time was had by all as we continued on into the night after the show and finally stripped out of all the wet clothes and crashed. This was my wifes (then girlfriend) first Alpine show. I still have a shirt that says Happy 20th Birthday to the Grateful Dead from this show.
The next morning, the Hanson Brothers (or the 3 stooges as we started calling them) were long gone, my head was punding, water was a hot commodity, the Biffys down about 50 yards were being cleaned and smelled something fierce, so we high-tailed it on out of there for the day and came back later for show 2.
