Preview of the next GD Night at the Movies....

I miss Jerry.  One of the few RFK shows I missed, might have to go check this out. 

0:04 bottom right hand corner, do-rag, similarity to past zoner. 

1989 was a peak year, with the band firing on all cylinders.  Brent and Jerry both seem pretty on in this clip.  Can't hear much Phil, though.  Bobby cracks me up with his pink Strat, Polo shirt and short shorts.

 

My girlfriend and I were catching what we could of this tour.  We hit every other stop, going to Foxboro, JFK Stadium, RFK for both nights, and all three nights at Alpine Valley, skipping Buffalo, The Meadowlands and Deer Creek.  It was hot and I was a little crispy, so it will be fun to revisit this show and see what memories it stirs.

The July 89 Giants Std. shows were great. That was it for me for me in '89. I got married that fall...

My son was born on Jerry's birthday and have never been to Jerry Garcia event on August 1st, we celebrate his birthday on that date

I may see this film, this time. Or is this going to sell out on me too?

All different opening acts on east coast...saw foxboro (los lobos) , buffalo (10,000 maniacs), JFK (Hornsby and Range), and both Giants Stadium shows (los lobos).....fun week...

Just bought tickets for theatre in nyc yesterday. They have assigned seating and there were tons of seats available. Probably not selling out here. I caught giants stadium in 1989 as well
