    Mind fully blown!
    Don't understand comments that this show was lackluster or unremarkable. I thought it was much better than Saturday. The technical issues were resolved, and the sound was stellar! Amazing spacy jamming in the admittedly short but very sweet yet intense second set. One of my favorite tapes for years afterwards. Beautiful not-too-hot Sacramento spring weather, with Bobby's Chernobyl rap in Good Lovin'. Someone from the GD org came out after the encore and thanked us for a "Very good night!"

    My first taping effort
    Yep, my first taping effort. Not too good. but at least I tried.Nothing else really stood out about this show. It was there. I think the energy was kind of lacking, judging by later listening to the tape. Gimmie some lovin' was good though. Brent really was into it! Oooh, also, the space was really good. Lots of feedback from Jerry and Bob. then the drums, very interesting...had a steel drum feel to it.

    Light mist fallen during box-of-rain. Very mystical, yet appropriate for my last show as a college student in Sac. The fat man rocked on this day.
