Being able to bring your own booze in softened the blow of ticket prices. We wandered around from spot to spot to see friends. Security didn’t care what you did until your square had more than 5 in it and even then they walked off right after. But up front most people went in front of their cars leaving their square to the right empty so we could do as we please in multiple empty quads. Kept masks on most of the shows as it was cold. Back in the day we’d have to just have cold faces but now with masks we can act like we are wearing them strictly for safety reasons and not lose our machismo. I had my mask on plus a neck gaiter covering all but slits of my eyes at the end of show 3. If that show went an hour later it would have been brutally cold. That wind started to really blow the last 20 minutes of the show. It was nice to have the early show as we booked it out by 7am Monday. Great weekend. So glad we made the trip. That residence inn was packed with heads attending the show. Was sort of funny with all the tie dye masks rolling in on Friday. The front desk was perplexed by how busy they were on a weekend in these times. Our hotel neighbors had nitrous tanks pssshew-ing all weekend. I asked a guy if he could part with a balloon. He’s like sorry, you know, Covid. I was a tad confused by that but think I’m gonna use that excuse for lots of stuff. Can you spare some change. Sorry, you know, Covid. Do you have any extra beers. Sorry, you know, Covid. I’m pretty sure that can work on everything you need it to work on. Hey baby can you go rake the front yard. Sorry, you know, Covid.

Nuggets indeed. One of my favorites. In fact I once posted a write-up I did a few years back in this forum... http://www.dsoforums.net/forum/topic/19215-berkeley-community-theater-11-2-84

Roger that. And hopefully a FL run too.

Amen, brother.

this was the show on TIGDH on Sirius when we popped in the car at 7am yesterday morning I believe. It was mostly background noise at that time of day. The main event was seeing the 1st snow of the year going through the West Virginia mountains.

I would say security was soft. I wandered off from my quad pretty much the whole time. Of course, I was fifty feet from being front and center so the pull was strong. If I was halfway back, I’d probably stay in me quad. No searching on the way in. You could bring anything probably. We each had our own cooler. No one looked. Security’s goal was to keep the lanes clear. Not sure why. Ambulances? They would chase you off occasionally but then again, I had wandered off.

Great read JohnA. I always feel I'm a more educated Deadhead after one of your dissertations. Praise DSO.

This was something really special they did inn that BCT run. Weird how I ended up with a soundboard fairly quickly, like by 1985 fall, must have been put out there by some kind power that be, very drippy, trippy show on sbd

It was nice to meet you and hang with you Saturday, acududeman. I agree, gr8ful pair, I like the drive in concept. It will be better after covid, masks, and having to stay in your quad. I hope they sprinkle some drive in shows throughout the tours even after all this Covid passes by.

Filler: white rabbit (shorty version) As high caliber a 3 show run as anybody could ask for. If you look at that setlist above you'll see the dance breaks were LLR and Space, 🥵😅 The execution of the whole event was near flawless in my perception. While I'd still rather be in a spinning dervish of dancers, I am a fan of the drive in concept. Thanks much to the band and crew for their efforts to feed us our fuel!!

Thank you buddy, was just looking for that list,... 😅🤪 Good to hug your neck! Great set up, very fan friendly. Thanks to band and crew for throwing down a schorcher! Good times, good weather, good peeps, cool venue. Ps: the birdsong let it grow sandwich was fucking awesome to end set 1.
