I am sure that you guys were diappointed by not having seen those Stevens but this show was not forgetable. I thought the Shakedown was better than usual and into Wang Dang Dooddle! It was a nice finish to an incredible tour. I want to finish the story from the last two nights. We got to the parking lot after getting a nice meal and gas money from the ground score from the night before. But we were out of money again. Not enough dough to get home - forget a ticket to the show. We decided to pick up cans and bottles. We collected for hours, by the end we had enough money to get home and we found some discount tickets. By the skin of our teeth we got it done. What a great tour and year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This place was a trip. I remember being stuck in the crowd after the show was over on the way out. The suction was so great from the the dome that you actually almost would get blown over.
Drove up there with three chicks and two cases of beer. One of the girls worked for Scher so we had fourth row center but I never made it there. I ended up spaced out in the upper deck last row catching trails. A first generation aud tape of this show player for a decade in my car. Awesome Shake/Wang. Wonder where those girls are now.
The sun will shine......in my backdoor someday!
Those Carrier Air-Conditioning Folks Know Their Stuff!
It Was The Most Smoke-Free Smoke-Filled Concert I Ever
Attended! VERY Cool Show!
This was a pretty good show; excellent shakedown, and wang dang doodle, always a treat. The terrapin was pretty good, and having just broken out st. stephen, the vibe was fantastic. Never a dull moment walking through those wind tunnels at the end. I'll never forget, this was the only show I ever saw 2 people about to throw down, but just when everyone was waiting for the bloodshed (this was during intermission), these 2 guys threw their arms around each other and the whole section erupted in happiness. Just another day, I guess.
I rember all these girls singing along with Women are Smarter like it really really meant alot to them!
Got back to NY..upstate...my friends said...dont stop now...heres $$$ dont come home without GREEN
Women were smarter!!!
What can I say? The Dead like to play in Upstate NY. Though this was the last show of the tour, it was still fun. Shakedown was a strong opener, the Bird Song was nice. Terrapin, and Revolution to end the tour. Not a bad way to leave the east coast. I had fun there that's for sure even though the place was huge!

After St. Stephen's in NY and Hartford everyone thought the big crowd in the Dome would get it too. Seemed like an appropriate way to end the tour.
Everyone was hanging on every note at the end of space to see if they would drop into St. Stephen. They didn't. The disapointment was palpable...at least in my section.
A forgettable show. Never did see that song....
