phil sings on CR&S
Was this the first time in a while that Phil helped sing on Cold Rain and Snow? What a fun show in front of a very small crowd on some spectacular mushrooms and peyote. Jerry looked pretty awful and pale these two days facing the sun and looking like he was going to keel over at any time. Fantastic encore!
sante fe
phil had on a huge sombrero
ROSES EVERYWHERE
Hot shows with fresh roses everywhere around stage etc..
Mickey Hart
We celebrated his 40th....I think. And the huge storm that rolled through was scarey. Roadies climbing scaffolds and lying on tarps covering speakers for protection. Rainbow into the Other One was the best visual eva at a Dead show for me. A wonderful two daze in the desert before Santa Fe got ruined. Security in turbins....firewerks at La Noche de Zazobra! The Inn at Loredo! The Pink Adobe with the crew getting smashed! Desert ratz! OH MY!
My favorite Dead experience
I met some friends before a recent Phil show and they had been discussing on the car ride what their favorite Dead show experience was. Not the show itself, but the best overall experience. They asked me what mine was and I thought for about 30 seconds and said these 2 Santa Fe shows were probably the best experience. They were shocked because one of the people in their car had said the same thing about a 1/2 hour earlier. I had never met this person, either.
There was just something magical about these days. I remember pulling into the lot and buying our tickets and camping fee right there the day before the show. I think this was the last time I saw this happening.
I remember the dust and the rain and the hot air balloons. Santa Fe city center was full of deadheads and it was so cool.

Bobby Peterson
1st and only time I ever got a backstage. My friend was dating a tree surgeon who had worked for Phil in San Rafael. Got to hang out a bit with Phil who introduced us to Bobby Peterson (lyricist of Unbroken Chain, and Pride of Cucamonga)....
He was all jazzed because he had arranged an FM simulcast of the shows for the New Mexico State Prison...he got a big kick out of negotiating the deal with the warden, who had no idea that Bobby P. had actually spent time there many years back.
At least thats how I remember it...that and Jerry just dodging all the backstage hanger ons to make a beeline to his trailer...
drunkin' injuns and nice morning hot air baloons
Ok, maybe this was the show with all the drunkin' injuns....it was amazing..i've never seen such an influx of barfoids at a campground experience, ever. they were having fun, tho.
keep your character, enjoy living, share your fortune,
