I learned the lesson from this show also, going up for only the Saturday 4/6/85 show because I was working the assembly line and couldn't miss work in my first 90 days. Others from our group stayed on and came back with the tales that revealed touring was what had to happen

Any updates?

Well, true confession, I skipped this spring visit by Jerry and the boys to the Spectrum. I was living in Ocean City, New Jersey, putting together Grady White boats. My last show, every song they played, I had seen them play before. I was questioning the need to rack up shows. Rookie move. WMMR and Pierre Robert were covering the start of this show on the radio. I tuned in to catch that. Hearing Midnite Hour start with a thunderous bang, I instantaneously realized that I had totally fucked up and vowed to never make that mistake again. I didn’t, right up until the end. Thing is, the next year, between about eight beers, green world blotter, and the substance shared by the deadheads who pushed their Brokedown VW bus into the parking spot next to ours, which turned out to be Opium, that show was a psychedelic blur. Another mistake which led to me seeing all three nights the next spring. What a long, strange trip it’s been.

Praise DSO.

Starting to get excited for this. Our pod assignments were released today and we are dead center 5th row Friday. Can’t wait to hang with great friends again!!! Wish we could have added Birmingham but leaving baby an extra day wasn’t in the cards. It was going to be his 1st show but April weather meant a risk of one of us having to stay at the cabin with baby. I’ll be fully vaxxed so I may stick my tongue down a few throats. Pucker up Tea! The SOTE gang will ride again minus 1.
