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.

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.

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.

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.

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

This also works for cucumber sandwiches.

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.

Friday the 13th Scarlet Touch Fire Encored with the final Dark Star until the Warlocks hit Hampton five yrs later

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?

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

Saratoga Springs where the high Time came out, you know the year

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

Greeks ?

Did Peter Rowan play old and in the way?

Had a wide draw from around the country as opposed to a local Zanzabar bar show. Memphis might have been the safest show with that in mind.

Good Times Bad Times to close the second set on Sat and While My Guitar Gently Weeps to open the show on Sunday. Wish we had seen you. We were under an easy up all three days, two rows over from Shakedown. These were, hands down, the best I have seen Phish. They came at it with a vengeance, sheer rock and roll. Did you see the tornadoes that hit shakedown on Saturday?

Tonight at Memorial Hall, 300 seater, here in Cincy, saw Jonah from Terrapin Hills festivals. Two new albums in 2020 and one coming out later this year. Also played It's a Great day To Be Alive!

Congratulations Scottie, we've never met but your love and appreciation of Bobby and all the side bands caused me to send you some tapes. Really glad you got to play with the band especially a Sugar Scarlet Fire Women, WOW! Cudos to Dark Star Orchestra for keeping it real and making it happen. That's some serious band/fan connection. Very happy this happened! and yes video would be a great watch⚡

Six song show?

The Who Cincinnati 5:15 They made it happen. They did it justice.

The house PA is too small to do the music justice. We got in at 6:45 for dinner and they soundchecked Mama Tried and the after midnight sandy. Good overall delivery. Like Anna said, it was mellow for a dinner show. I like a hard and gritty growl like Jerry sang.. I'd see them again in town, not driving to Lexington or Indy tho Talked with them afterwards and they were genuine and conscientiousness. They come out of Indy, not Columbus.

Cool split on the scarlet fire , how'd that go?
