    There was a Bog Boss Man at the epic 6-16-90 Shoreline show.  Man that show was fun. Jerry never left stage in the 2nd set!

    I was going to post on TDIGDH. The Aug 20 1987 park west Utah show. On that run RR>ToHellYouRide, I talked my  buddy in to going to Tempe as my east coast friends headed north to DIA. We then had the 12 hr drive getting in PW parking lot around 2am. We'll at 4am I asked security where the line was going to form (GA like RR).he showed me, I went to my car got lawn chair,  boombox we Hendrix at Woodstock, filled a bowl with hash and planted myself as first in line. Words started spreading around the lot that the line had started. By 6am there were a hundred people behind me and my rocky mtn crew with me up front. On the rail with a Big Boss Man opener. So calm and peaceful on the rail, I think the stage was the rail somewhere between hip and shoulder height.

  2. Met some folks at the Alpine Phish shows that were going. Apparently it's where the Blue Ox festival is? We drove through there 2011-2015 visiting Anna's parents in Riverfalls, Wisconsin and St Paul when they were still alive.. amazing country up there. Also met a couple from a small city in Iowa who said the 5 1/2 hrs drive to Alpine was the closest place for them to see shows. Felt for them. That Alpine lawn could be developed with tiers to off set the steepness and money could be made to invest in the lawn's sound system. Surprised nobody has done that yet. Lots of people were saying they wanted to hit it up but it was the next weekend after three Phish shows in Wisconsin. I bet my friend Tim McClendon from Sioux city SD was there. He's the person that recruited me.in Laramie.to take his extra ticket for the 4/6/84 Vegas..we.left from his house party that Friday night for the next day show. That encouraged me to get recruits for the Cincinnati drove to the Carrier Dome on Saturday October 20, 1984, I can recall doodling one more Sat night all over my college notes the weeks leading up to Syracuse.

  3. Sounds like she'd sign a hat. Right Too much fun? These tales must be told, thanks Chuck. I got to talk with Bobby a little at the after hours bar in Vail when he was there doing two shows with kimock and Kingfish August 1986. His voice was shot supposedly from free basing. During the shows he was glaring at me as his blonde girlfriend was dancing with me and pulling her skirt down to fuck with Bobby. My girlfriend, Nina got us in to the bar through Barry Flask. He invited her up to the hotel rooms; however, when I got on the elevator for the ride up he change his mind stating they really needed to rest. I wasn't going back to the campground alone, not when I was the one who orchestrated the trip. Bobby didn't say much, just kinda stayed on the outskirts. These were the dark days of the coma. By October 30 (Hunter opening for kingfish) and 31 (where kf opened for JGB) at the Kaiser Stone shows were happening and the onslaught of 87 was brewing. Sorry Tea and Ambassador Vegas for the drift and ramble. Did you get to some of those 76, 77 JGB with Donna shows? I heard JGB shows we're too much fun back then as they were only a couple of bucks..My Stone shows in January of 87 were only $10 for two sets, $15.00 at the Wiltern, $15.00 at eel river for three sets.

  5. The last time I was there was Jerry Garcia Band September 15, 1989. Then I had pavilion and the AKG460's>D5 in the 20th row center with two other tapers patched out. GDP seemed to pass out the pavilion with the mail order always getting peeps into the pavilion. This Phish series was all lawn for our crew and if you don't remember it's STEEP. My feet were a mess by Sunday with that slope. Toes all crunched at the front of shoes. Not as strong a run as Deercreek, but still rockin'. On a note of the sound system Alpine provided, tiny little speakers on the roof of the pavilion for us lawn folks. Not phish's normal sound. I loved that they didn't play Wilson in hopes to open Dicks on September 1st with it since Wilson is now Denver's new quarterback. Several friends of mine are trying for front row all sporting Wilson shirts. Might dew webcast just to see Jack and Kim.

  6. That was my only cal expo run and we all had to take our turn either running the deck or being FOB mic stand with the horn hat. 6 sets divided up amongst our crew (12 shifts). Really nice to see DSO taking it on. I'm sure the delivery was exceptional. It's nice when the play shows that are in the state they originally happened at. Certainly fills those that were there with joy. Took them 23 years to serve up Riverbend 85, we'll worth the wait.

  7. Roger Waters was too heavy on the radio hits. Did get an enjoyable The Powers That Be from the Radio KAOS album into The Bravery of Being Out of Range. Way up high are the best seats for this in the round production. Very Bloodyband gory. It was a good show,. go run and see.. definitely his last run , just wish he did only solo material. Fortunately no drunken screamers near us

  8. Billy Strings Friday night in Indy. Average show in a super packed Amphitheater where they had the house lights on all through the show. Boo. I'll tell you when he hits it hard; however, this was not the show. For one thing he's bringing on a violin player who has to add his lead to each song. And the violin takes up a pretty big space in the sonic world. All good except we didn't get as much banjo as we used to and Billy Failing is a bango player extraordinare. Dark Star was lingering all around the show, but he didn't make it happen. A lot of people around me were hearing it we were all hoping it would be a night full of diamonds. Also was looking for the HSF. Not to be.  Almost seemed like Mr. Apostle mail it in which is not BMFS standards. Just saying. It's all fairly new as he's only 29, so there are years of development ahead. Billy stayed on stage long after the show acknowledging the audience after the house turned on music to stop. He still appreciates the magic of an audience. DSO knows this as well. They've been at it for 24 years. Hoping for some upcoming midwest shows to take my dollar.

  9. All three Louisville shows are live free stream on www.mixlr.com

    Search Billy-Streams around 9pm.

    Last opened again with a Meet Me at The Creek. Breakin to the new guy in proper. Also an All Fall Down , crazy good preshow, set break and post show tunage from their sbd guy, Andy, it's half the fun of listening to the stream. 

     

  10. No that is not a possibility. He just signed up a fiddle player for his band. He is not JK. He did create Billy Strings Cheese Incident and did an amazing 3 set show with them. Second set all dead. At RR 7/12/22 check it out, freak out

  11. July 6th 1986, hot, hot, hot and the lot had an undercover van with a mushroom window cruising the lot and arresting people who didn't even have the cash to get back to Maine. Stella Blu

    July 6th, 1987 Indoor summer tour show when Jerry gave Heaven 's Door to the Grateful Dead (weird tour with three indoor shows, Roanoke the other 2). 

    Maybe the indoor arenas were evening the score with the stadium Dylan shows in that run?

     

  12. Wonderland Toronto 6/30/87 Most of the songs had something to do with the border crossing hell people had to go through to get to this show. 1 1/2 hour search of my car. First set Ramble on rose (try to walk the line), think of terror if you give this show a listen. 

    Esp. second set other one (heat came round and busted...)> china doll (just a little nervous from the fall... it all started to make sense to me) and then cheering us all up with a Dear Mr Fantasy (something to make us all happy) I was once again at peace. I had a D5 and knew the Scarlet Fire was coming out there, had to be there, did the whole tour with a had to be there approach.

    Wish I could bring up the set or a link, but at work and just wanted to chime in on 6/30

    6/25/21 recreation after the 6/24/21 RL recreation of the 6/24/85 recreation 

  14. Anna talked with someone at work today who said he went to the show last night and one of the drummers was replaced at set break. This yayhoo didn't know the name of which one. I think it was Billy as another friend sent me a photo of Micky on the space machine he grinds at the end of drums.  I hope everyone is alright 

  15. My buddy  in Denver sent me a video of the Boulder IKYR and scanned folsom field with his camera. It was packed to the gill. I watched the Fantasy on YouTube and it was a bummer.

    Decided not to spend the $70.00 plus fees to sit on the lawn and watch a video screen and pay $15.00 for a beer that gets warm to quickly. 

    Sorry to hear of the local dead band not getting much of a turnout while this Dead and Co racket is packing em in.

    We get substantial attendance for Hyryder shows.

    In the past years I've done Dead and Co, I've ended up leaving after space.  Glad I didn't go last night. There was a terrible thunderstorm that came through. the list looks so so.
