    First GD SHOW

    Crammed 8 of us in my Chevy S~10. Drove from San Diego. I had seen JGB prior. Ran in to dozens of friends from school. Saw a hippie get struck by lighting on the silver bowl lot. Didn’t hurt him. Just wigged him out. After strolling through shakedown a purchasing a Samuel smiths oatmeal stout I came across that Soapium stuff that was floating around. Tasted like incense. No buzz. The show was phenomenal. Got shut out Friday and Saturday so it was along time coming. Fell in love with the circus that weekend. You could say that when the bud came by and I got on. The music never stopped:-7

    Don't remember which day it was
    But I was waiting outside the women's bathroom for my wife and daughter with my three year old son in my arms and a bolt of lightning hit a chainlink fence about five feet away from us. My son was terrified of lightning for years after that. I was kind of freaked out myself.

    deadheads tripping down the strip
    this was my first/only desert show! I drove out from Boulder, CO just a day or two after college had let out for the Summer... and we tried to sell some treats out of my friends pick up... looked around for a Miracle ticket, but wound up listening to the radio broadcast instead!!! The trip was great and the VIBE was dope too! Awesome... day shows allow for a much better parking lot seen as well, IMHO I never did catch up with my friends Suzy, TJ or Darrel after the first night out on the town. After the last of three days of gambling and partying it up Vegas style; we crashed for a few hours in a roach motel, before driving back home to CO... WALST it was Drew H

After playing largely similar sets the first two days, Mr Sting broke out a bunch of different tunes for this one. I guess he noticed it was largely the same faces in the crowd each day, and that the GD mixed up their sets and did not repeat any songs during the first two shows!!! Fun stuff in the HOT HOT DESERT! ". . . Music is the best!" (fz)

I remember all the deadheads coming alive each night when Sting played King of Pain!! Sting might have played the same songs each show, but nothing was worse than CSN&Y telling the same jokes each night on tour, pathetic!!

sting did open up a bit. i remember this show most: tripping on acid as the "best man" at my buddy's wedding the night before, and that weird/ off rhythm thing in slipknot that turned out pretty cool, and oh yeah, licking the plastic bag that the acid had been in, and still getting really out there in the hot sun at the start of scott's honeymoon. they are divorced, now, anyone surprised?

This was the last show of the first run of shows I had seen in a year. And this show was GREAT. Bobby's voice was shot but he did his best. The second set was amazing. Jerry broke a string during Franklin's and the rhythm section kep t the groove going. A sick Other One-->Wharf Rat to boot. Sting said we were the best audience ever! Wish I could go back in time to see this one!!!! Jay E. Auerbach, Esq. Hollywood, FL

Sting was a disappointment that day, because he just repeated Friday's setlist. The following day he really shook things up, though.

This would be my last Brokedown. Its sad to think of some tunes as 'the last' when your used to sayin' 1st Shakedown or 1st Darkstar. I always loved the Brokedown encore. Left many-a-show with a tear ...

A lovely end to a restless stay in Vegas. A haul to Mountain View with a stop through Hermosa Beach for some Ocean time. Thing of beauty to roll into Mtn. View where sis was waiting with room at their hotel room. Felt like a palace after the skanky Sands.

This show was my one and only Miracle Ticket. I was sick stuck in the hotel the night before and needed a great show. They did not disappoint.

this was my 1st show...sorta. a guy i kinda knew from my hometown, salt lake, well he was from new york, but anyhow he had a friend from the midwest coming into town the evening before this show. he asked me if i wanted to get in the van for the ride to see the dead. I had never even dreamed of going to a dead show, but i was glad i did. I bought a counterfeit ticket from some @sshole heads in a casino. my friends got in, but i just hung out in the parking lot. I could hear the show pretty well and found a local radio station playing it live, so I tuned in and even managed to record some of it on the boombox they had. what an amazing experiece it was that changed my life for ever more! It's been a long strange trip ever since. Im not preparing for my 1st show since jerry's passing. I feel like a kid waiting for x-mas. Haha!

This was my first show and also the one that made me understand why my friends were deadheads. The live sound was like nothing I had ever heard. They controlled the way every molecule in the stadium vibrated. It was pretty. What a set list too. I feel very fortunate. Oh....first trip to Vegas. It was pretty too.
