Never saw this video. I was in the middle of the floor, somewhere near whoever shot this. People are whooping it up so much that they drown out Phil.

The show at the Greek in 81
The show at the Greek in 81 where somebody had a big sign saying "Turn Brent Down". Phil motioned for the guy to pass it up to the stage. He showed it to Brent, pulled out a lighter and set it on fire. Awesome.

That was a good night Jill. I was in the 16th row on Jerry's side. GDTS really hooked me up on that tour. The show on 9/20 show with Edie were the best seats, but I was lower level every other night in NYC & the first 3 Boston Garden shows too.

12/27/89 2nd set: The night
12/27/89 2nd set: The night they musically Blew Off Clarence Clemens. I was there. He'd guested with them a few times in 87/88 when they were a top 40 band & not jamming at all - then in mid-late 89 the E St band was on hiatus & rumor had it he'd asked the GD to join as a permanent or semi permanent member. This was the next show he guested at, 2nd set starts out basically enuff w/Aiko, on which he plays just fine, but the rest of the show is all psychedelic jamming totally leaving him in the musical dust; by Morning Dew Healy had the good sense to basically turn him so far down he's inaudible. He never guested w/the GD again after this (did w/JGB a few times I think):

I've always found the 2nd
I've always found the 2nd Creamery Field trip (Oregon Country Fair) to be a fave show, Aug 28, 1982.
Cold mix to start the show, as there was no sound check... 2 stages (Robert Cray headlined the other), and the stage was blank when we got there, slowly the drums were brought out, amps, monitors, etc... so when Bertha starts, it's a funky mix, but you can hear the instruments get dialed in as they go (there's Brent), good times!
Some highlights;
Plane fly over during Bertha Opener
Ken Kesey introducing the 2nd set
First Day Job (ok, can debate whether that was good or bad, lol)
First West LA Fadeaway (great version too!)
First Duprees Diamond Rag in many years, and as an encore too.
(Excellent versions of all the songs, but special shot outs to Althea and Black Peter)

March 3, 1968 The Dead play on a flatbed truck on Haight St. and bid adieu to the H-A and thank the Good Lord this guy recorded some of the show, one of the longest and most blistering versions of Viola Lee Blues.... Obviously I wasn't there but I have enjoyed this recording many times!

Caught one of the latter 'Box Of Rain' breakouts in Portland Maine. Also the 1 & Only 'Revolutionary Hamstrung Blues'.
Funny thing was some dude lurking near SBD actually knew the name of Tune. ??? Who the heck was that guy, I wonder.
But my favorite Historical Moment was seeing Phil spark up a "Reefer" on the stage of Red Rocks, July 1982. Again, the only time I witnessed that.

Thinking back,
Thinking back,
Jerry Garcia's 40th Birthday Show in Oklahoma City at the Zoo Amphitheatre was a Historical Landmark.
Maybe not the greatest Show ever, but I am proud to have attended. Conical Birthday hats were handed out, and the Fans sang "Happy Birthday Song" at end of Setbreak.
The Legend is that the Oklahomans forgot to lock the ticket booth the night before Show, and some DeadHeads thieved a whole batch of Tickets. So there were extremely-discounted tickets available. Face was only about Ten Bucks

^ Oklahoma City --- so hot
^ Oklahoma City --- so hot they delayed the show til dusk, if I remember correctly. There were no seats -- just big wide terraced steps. People behind us brought in a coffin full of beer in ice water. Big mamma would dip a teeshirt in the ice water and fling it around her head while yelling "souiiiiiIEEEE." ruining many tapes. It was so hot the ice cold water actually stung when it hit you.
The show was a disappointment -- the good show was Manor Downs. That was the longest I ever drove for a single show: Maryland to Oklahoma by way of Appalachian State College in North Carolina.

Carousel Ballroom, March 1968 shows are unbelievable to listen to.
I was at the 3/28/86 Portland - Box of Rain show. I didn't know they played it already, and thought it was a "breakout."

Hmmm I was near the sound
Hmmm I was near the sound board for Revolutionary Hamstrung Blues, but had no idea what the song was, so you can rule me out anyway. Reminds me of walking out of Landover after the Ripple and the guy next to me knew the date of the last electric Ripple. WTF did he bring his dead base into the show?
My Oklahoma ticket for Jerry’s 40th got locked in the car, and had to buy another ticket which I think I got for $5. Never heard the ticket box theft story before. The good show on that tour was the next show in Kansas City which was one of my top tens.
