Providence 84
We went down to this show with a big group of hoodlums from Hebron Academy in Maine. I'm still not sure how we got permission to leave campus. A girl named "Dagny" scored 2nd row floor seats for the entire group through her dad who had some kind of connection with the promoter. Before the show even started our buddy Pete Morley - who was wearing a Cosmic Uncle Sam tophat got thrown out for lighting up. Security down front was brutal! When Jerry walked out on stage we were floored to see the physical state is was in. It made the show really emotional and more compelling. Bobby was swirling a towel around in a circle during the wheel. That was amusing.

Great recording with nice Phil bombs and keyboard work
