My First Show
This was the first concert I had ever seen. Jack Straw and Casey Jones are really the only 2 songs I remember from that night as it was a first for some other things too. Can you say stoned?
I guess that's why Jack Straw has always been one of if not my favorite song. We can share the women we can share the wine!
What a great line to remember
No, I don't want your Earth Shoes!
I too don't remember much of the music, but largely because I was sitting near the aisle to the lobby at the front of the stage and some guy who didn't want to get in line kept asking me if he could climb over me in exchange for his Earth Shoes.
I do remember Phil dropping the bomb for The Other One - it shook me to my core.
Noyatin
First Show.....yeeeha
Wharf Rat is what sticks in my mind - Jerry slowed it down and sung soulful - also the beginning when they unfurled the "Wake of the Flood" Album cover banner - (it could have been the beginning of the second set - how could I remember) I would love to have that banner hanging in my loft. Although I can see it behind the band right now :)
Look at that countrified first set - awesome.
Great time on the floor - rarely missed a Philadelphia show after that all the way up until 1995. The good old Spectrum, low key, peaceable vibe and the parking lot didn't get stupid until the 90's.
Why do I have to wait until I'm 105 years old for this show to be released. We ain't gettin' any younger out here ya know....
This was a great show! The
This was a great show! The wake of the flood material was fresh and very hot played live. I also remember Wharf Rat as a memorable rendention that night.
Horns
Horn section...it was OK for something different, but I was glad it did not become a regular feature. Spent entire show walking around with my date looking for her brother. Finally found him after the show. Must have walked 25 miles around the Spectrum. Around and Around....
Second Set question
The tuning after Row Jimmy sounds to me that they are getting ready for Let Me Sing Your Blues Away and matches the start of the that track. Also the tuning after Let it Grow sounds to me that they are getting ready for One More Saturday Night and that matches the start of that track as well.
So would the set be more like:
Hes Gone>
Truckin>
The Other One>
Wharf Rat>
Row Jimmy
Let Me Sing Your Blues Away
WRS Prelude>
WRS Part 1>
Let It Grow
One More Saturday
Casey Jones
