my 16th show =-)
My first scarlet -> fire. It only took 16 shows. It was awesome. I was on the floor and lovin' it.
Glow stick shenanigans
So after a killer Scarlet>Fire someone threw a glowstick on stage near Phil. He quickly took off his bass and left the stage. The post Fire jam was starting to get interesting and then Phil got lost. Thanks to the asshole who almost clocked Phil with a glowstick. This was also the East coast debut of Way To Go Home, which was received really well in my opinion. I also liked the JAW opening trio.
This was my first dead show.
This was my first dead show. The only Dead I had heard was a "skeletons from the Closet cassette someone gave me. I liked it, and liked the pomp about the dead, so me and a buddy got tickets. We had a buddy that worked a ticketmaster, and he was to get the best tickets for us that they got. He gave us the worst. We sat in the nosebleeds directly across from the stage. It was a wierd night. We spent all day around the drums, and folks with balloons.
I don't remember much about the show expect that I only recognized Sugar when played. All the other songs were new to me. Yeas later, looking back at the play list, I've heard all those songs a dozen hundred times, and don't remember hearing any of them.
I can't say I thought it was a great set since I was "influenced", but it left a great impression. I was 21 at the time, and remember seeing older (50's) business men walking around the parking lot with a smile on. I knew what was up.
Drove straight from Mardi Gras
worth the 8 hour hungover drive..!
