Maybe most memorable part of this two day stand was the vendor selling "nothing on a stick" from a tray for $2 apiece. . . (styrofoam blocks in toothpicks). A fitting commentary on the Dead's mostly empty efforts. Oh but yes, a grand "Shakedown," some wicked "Space" segments, a terrific "Row Jimmy" and a hot "Sugar Magnolia" proved once again . . . never count out the GRATEFUL GODDxMN DEAD
This was my last show too...yeah, it was hot...flew out from mpls/stpaul for the two shows...got back with wicked sunburn and everyone else was wondering where the hell I went.
Had a great time at the show (especially the shakedown) cept for the sunscreen running into my eyes.
The Deer Creek shows of the summer tour would have been my last (had row 4 seats one night, row 7 the next) but I left a little late and the line of traffic was unreal for the first show...by the time I got to the venue parking, the "riot" already started and the cops weren't allowing anyone to even stop on the road...the next show was cancelled.
A BIG THANKS to all the heads that showed up without tickets.
Anyone remember Gumbi?
I have an old pic somewhere, with gumbi at this show or the previous night...if I can find it, I'll see if I can scan it and post it here.
Saw the Dead at the Gorge 2 weeks ago. Interesting to go back to this setlist (my last GD show), and see Music Never Stopped, Tom Thumbs, Dire Wolf and Days Between. Bobby's much maligned version (while sleepy, and show slowing) of Days still brought that introspective moment for me. Reflection, redirection, redeadication!
Thank you Jerry
A great show, hot as hell, had to be reminded by police to do nitrous sitting down :) This was my last show too. I miss Jerry so much.
were a trip unto themselves wern't they Shaggy? I'm surprised they hooked up with the GD. 1995 done come and gone, My O My
History's Page will be neatly carved in stone

This was a really fun show for me. I'm glad I didn't know it would be my last time seeing Jerry because i would have been way too sad to really enjoy it. I loved that they played so many of the songs i really had been wanting to hear. I wish i had made it to see chuck berry, but i hitchiked from Olympia at the last minute. I feel fortunate that my roommate Billy talked me into going. ....Im going to see the dead again for the 1st time since Jerry passed in May. I am so excited I can hardly contain myself!!! :)
