This was my first show. My life was never the same after that night. It was when I got on the bus. That sociologist from UNC Greensboro was doing field studies of the Deadhead community. I met some truly amazing people that night. I felt like I had come home.
This stop on the fall tour had a great laid back atmosphere, & the venue was tiny. The surrounding community welcomed the scene, it was so melow.
I had a decent seat for this show, but the band set up speakers in the hallway, & the energy was really high. I even remember a massage chain broke out during the set break.
The show didn't have a lot of meat on it's bones, but it was quality of quantity. The Bertha Jack Straw opener, I can still hear it, but the Row Jimmy, oh man. It was like rolling on a river boat. Jerry's voice melded into his soul. it's still my favorite from the tour. It's also my favorite Birdsong from that tour. Jerry & Bob were in sync almost like they were in a church. It was so beautiful. Then the boys lifted the roof with Promised Land. The second, more of the same. The China->Rider was top notch, so to was Looks Like Rain. Then they took us home. Pretty typical, but really good, especially the Knockin' encore.
