Took awhile for the plan to come together but we are in for summer jam through bears picnic. Gonna be fun. Kids will be with us at festivals and 2 of the shows with us. We are excited. Also getting a few finals days at the family beach house before we sell it. So extra special trip.

7-25-74 @ International Amphitheater - Chicago, IL While not the only time it was done, I love the Slipknot! ditty (best description I can think of) at the end Dark Star. Nothing insane about this show other than it's wonderfully tight

ET told me not to worry about missing this year's fest due to having Phish tickets this same weekend. They're taking up residence for years to come is what he reassured me at the Rockford show.

He showed Hyryder a ton of love all day Saturday. I believe they have a future at the ledges. Definitely felt that way to me. When Melvin was on stage there was a similar rant pumping up HR and he was like yeah and here’s Melvin. Lol. He is definitely a rant guy.

I once was funneled into the back of a horrific lot at Shoreline, and I knew from experience that getting out of it could potentially take over an hour. Had a great seat FOB in the center section. I left the seat before the encore, and positioned myself at the rear aisle ready to bolt. Then Jerry went into Baby Blue and I found myself loitering until the end of it. Couldn't leave early. 😀 There were rail rats hardcores at later era Oakland Coliseum Arena shows that would leave before the encore to hustle outside and be the first to get the priority tickets to line up the next morning. That's some "method to my madness" shit right there.

For 7-22-84 Ventura, listen to Loser as loud as possible, paying particular attention to the Phil bomb at the end of the jam and Jerry's ensuing vocals. Good shit!
