Death Don't

have been one to always pride myself on getting into almost every show I ever attended. When the first notes of death don't were hit stopped in my tracks looking around from the very top of shoreline Noting that it was true. as always we would pretty much stop in place for a moment like that then go back to what we always did dance. I was off to rehab in New hampshire 3 or 4 days later. Not knowing a thing about being sober. Spofford hall for 28 days something not many places do these days. It was the day saved my life. Ended my touring days and back into the mainstream of life. where I sit to this day Now thats a MIRACLE

Yeah I was there too!

And I also remember little to nothing of the actual show - my brain was out in space :-) "I've stayed in every blue-light cheap hotel. Can't win for tryin. Dust off those rusty strings just one more time. Gonna make em shine."

Amazed....

I had some great seats pavillion close to the front like 12 rows back on Jerry's side..I have some photos I may post them as well..I remember the Wolf Guitar was being used Rosebud was being Midi fied? I think the Death Dont is the best guitar work from Jerry In a while..the entire Band was in rare form..I think the hometown shows enhanced the band memebers playing and enthusiasm greatly..

Death Dont...

I was blown away when the boys broke that one out! (considering I was 2...lol) The other highlight was the Stranger>Franklins although they did this a few times in the late 80s I think it was the first time I heard it live this way. I agree with Jaybird, The Midi setups that started this year were amazing!

correction

...I was 2 when they last played it in 1970....

my fisr show

stonyb sez I was basically a metal head, but audiophile, toohad read, and heard, about the deads sound, but was basically unfilmilary with the music, boy, why did I wait so long? I thought RUSH, & YES, had good sound, but holly batman, this was an, entireally new experience. I knew my musical, & life philosiphy had changed, I saw brent 3 times total, & 27 shows overall, compared to seeing say rush 7 times, over 20 years. Shoreline, Oakland collisieum, Silver bowl VEGAS, BEST EVER TIMES OF MY LIFE! Bird song, Terrapin, Magnolia, the shoreline lawn. I WILL NEVER FORGET

sept. 89 shoreline

hot hot stuff. Really fun run of shows.

Best 3 day run for me at Shoreline

Several big things happened to me on this jaunt to California. I met Linda the one true love of my life that never materialized in to a relationship. Linda if you read this I often still think of you Sugarey even though I am a gray old man now.. Also had a nice talk in the vendor area with Uncle BoBo. Last time I think I was never to see him again. As far as the show. Excellent!!! All three shows were.

Row H

I was in the 8th row for this one and it was my 100th show! Truly a memorable experience.-Tony Without love in the dream, it'll never come true

Row BBB Orchestra Pit

That's what the tickets said. I stared at them in disbelief thinking that somebody in the GD ticket office must have screwed up. I then thought "Man I can't believe the Dead hooked me up with 2nd row tickets." But when we got there we discovered that we were actually on the FRONT row. I was literally staring up into Garcia's nostrils when he busted out the first notes of Death Don't. To say the crowd exploded in a frenzy would be quite an understatement.
