The Boys final appearance at the Frost kicks
off with this odyssey of a performance, certainly
worthy of the venue in which it was delivered.
Beyond the near flawless execution of the
show, jewels are scattered throughout the
set list- TLEO, Kentucky Derby Race Is On,
China>Rider to close set one, Samson on
a Saturday. The Big Man dipped his toe
in the MIDI world during Space and
Take You Home, Steve Parrish handing
him a generic white guitar for those segments.
This concert stands on the top of the mountain
for my Grateful Dead shows. I spent the afternoon
on the rail, wide open and absorbing every ounce
of energy coming off the stage. We stayed at an
old one level half moon hotel with the pool in the
middle, it was an open door party late into the night.
It was 31 years ago today.
Praise DSO.
