    Ahhh Rosemont
    I would fly into O'hare for this run a couple of years in a row, I always had to use a ticket service out of Chicago for down front seats. The guy at Gold Coast tickets got to know me well. My brother in law was my tour buddy he was always amazed at how close we were..never further than 5th row for Rosemont. The only thing was the Police force outside the venue were always rude and over the top especially with dead heads. The shows were always fun This show was great with Help>slip>frank and finished the first set with Music Never stopped. It doesn't get much better for me.

    My last show
    I didn't like the way the vibe and scene had changed, the band seemed to have more off nights than on, etc. Blew off the encore to beat the crowd out of the building and drove straight home to Iowa, never looking back.

I memorized THE ISLAND, may I recite it for you?"I've got me an island that I'm calling Me. Each time I go there, you know who I see? There's me, and me, more often than not and that's pretty often, it's my favorite spot! There are lots of islands called Other-Than-Me but they're someone else's, one look and you'll see. You can try like a fool to be what you're not, but the island ya get. . . is the island ya got!" This was partially the inspiration for the song HEAT MAN by The Kind. Check it out on archive.org: http://www.archive.org/details/KIND2006-11-24 Oh yeah, Dan Healy had the quadraphonic system set up at these shows, he got it going pretty good in there, under the planes approaching O'Hare! ". . . Music is the best!" (fz)

Devout Catalyst-was the name of that little project, basically a combo of the Grisman quartet/Jerry/Ken. It is a bit abstract but fantastic. When it came out it was a huge hit with me and my buddies. Tried to go to this show. It was one of those blackout ticket senarios, and being from Springfield Il., we had to travel to the nearest ticketmast that was inside the range. Found this one outlier that was about 40 miles further south than any other ticketmaster selling tickets. So we show up about 5am and immediately new there was a problem, only 1 other person was there. This old head had driven from St. Louis after calling just like us, put his family up in a hotel, and they we were. Well, we hung out listened to some of his nice tapes, and the time rolled around, ticketmaster people said they were going to be able to sell them. then of course they were blackout and no tickets for us. Well about a week before the show, the old head calls me, we traded numbers to trade some tapes, I barely remembered him, but apparently he went to straight to grateful dead merchandise explained his situation, and dropped our names also. tells us to get our asses to the will call before the show, and wouldn't you know it 5 row in front of Jerry. Went to 30 some odd shows and even though the concert was just ok, it was my favorite dead expierence. Nordine was a trip. Good times.

Liberty was a rockin encore. I was front row second desk. Have a very loud voice and yelled as could be for Liberty. I'm pretty sure Jerry looked up at my group and smiled as if thanking us for screaming for his song. It rocked and was one of my top ten dead moments. PS The Jerry Garcia Band played Rosemont for shows closly resembling a religous music revile.
