The first day you must have been drinking white lightening
May 15 1993
One of my best friends just passed away and his fondest memory was making this my first show. The weather brought an extra electricity to the venue and he showed me a beautiful light. Hope he's found another beautiful light!
and stevetall was right
and stevetall was right someone did get struck in the bleachers
Ooooh, Las Vegas!
Just the place for a poor boy like me. Bumped into my buddies from the old world of the midwest, can't quite recall exactly but think after this nights smokin' show we went to the Aladdin theater for a midnite show...S Kimock's band Zero opened for the Radiators...Zero good but EXTREMELY mellow and I found myself studying the ceiling tiles, then the Radiators Hot 'n Smokin'! "If you didn't come to get it on, get yer dead ass home." Aladdin staff very laid back, had vending booths set up in the concourse, dress code relaxed. Take me back! Wanna do it again!
I remember
I took a friend(his 1st show) to these shows and we damn near got hit by lightning while we were partying in the parking lot. Someone did get struck by lightning a couple of cars down from us in the lot. All we had was am/fm in our rental car so we were listening to the local stations. The local radio DJs were talkin trash bout all the hippies that came into town. I remember it started to rain on the way into the parking lot and the local dj said "it smells like wet dogs at Sam Boyd". Regardless of lightning and dipshit DJs....I remember having "such a good time" at these shows.
"Emancipate yourself from mental slavery...none but ourselves can free our minds"
The years all roll into one
Thought it was 92 with the lot hit by lightning, sounds like maybe I had too much too fast in 93. Most likely I was puddle stomping in 93 when lightning was crackling and I was a cackling. Yeah, wasn't the Aladdin a nice place to finish up a day? the Rads were pumpin' the juice! Bite the head!
The lightning was definitely
The lightning was definitely '93 and it was nutty as was hearing lucy in the sky with diamonds. haven't been to vegas in a long while and nothing will ever stand up to the memory of '92 and '93 when it was taken over by deadheads. remember how nice the locals all were when we descended on their little towns, even (esp) vegas? lots of little signs at stores and gas stations? back before everything got ruined by commercialism...
encore
We were there for Sting and then we decided to stay a little longer because the people had lots of treats
The thunder and lightening storm coincided with Drums/ Space and for sure Hart and Billy jammed with the nature as it was My recollection is that a good many of us in the Phil Zone were levitated during Lucy Sky Diamonds
