It also helped that Ken Kesey was in the audience and there was a Jester roaming the front few rows dosing people. Not enough time to tell all the other stories but my buddies in the balcony were jealous as the first couple of row were all coked out and I was the first dancing by the stage. That St Stephen was amazing especial the instrumental before the last couple of lines and cooking into NFA. The drummers hopped on their stools and Keith jumped in as well. As Jerry started St Stephen, Phil gave him a menacing look as Jerry start St S without him. In all my shows, it was the only time where I saw the rest of the band find a seat and let their jaws drop to the floor with the rest of us. In case it hasn't been noticed, when Jerry is doodling (Close Encounters jam) no one is playing with him. Very Cool.Īs they took a breather after Samson and Micky pointed at me and say to those around him "This guy is going to go nuts" I Did!! She wanted to hear Jack Straw so I yelled out to Bobby and he turned around to the band and they went into Jack Straw. AND SHE COULDN'T MAKE IT so he told me to enjoy the show!! Security came over to me and told me straight up that it wasn't my seat cuz it belonged to his girlfriend. I worked my way to the 3rd row, 3rd seat from center. Got my ticket and even my place in line just as the doors opened. I was really close to the doors for the opening and I left my ticket back in a RV were had been in. Looking forward to seeing Phil in NY next week!!Īll day partying with Sunshine and Roses. Thank you for putting me on earth to share space in a room with JG even if it was just one time. I coulda been there, but you know what? Thank your lucky stars that you're a GD fan! because what other band played 200 shows a year, and professionally recorded them all? No one.

I think maybe the strange acoustics of Mac court might have something to do with what some folks are getting at with. I remember going to some games, and the place was notorious for being a loud, raucous venue. Mac court is basically built like a square, a box, but it's kinda tall. It was the oldest college basketball court in the country, and it reminded me of a miniature Boston Garden, as they were probably built around the same time. It's not in use as a basketball court anymore, but it was when I moved outta Eugene in 2005. I wasn't at the show, but I have been at McArthur Court, the old basketball court at UO. I have a comment to make regarding the 'tone' of Garcias guitar at this outing. I can imagine that not too many folks got to sleep for quite a while after this show. As if more was needed, a nice long, jammed-out Not Fade Away follows, and even Around and Around just adds to the energy. Stephen, a performance after which the listener is never again the same person as s/he was before. Stephen without the usual intro, but never mind - this is the apotheosis of St. The Other One is more like a throwback to 73 than a typical 77, already long and and exploratory before the band sits back and lets Jerry do his thing. The first set ends on The Music Never Stopped, which is every bit as powerful as you'd expect by that point (and is one of the first renditions to include an extended waltz-time middle section).īut of course, it's the post-Drums part of this show that make it so special. A scorching Jack Straw follows, and you know there ain't a place you can hide that will keep you from the awesome power of this performance. Indications of things to come start with Tennessee Jed, when Jerry kicks the intensity up several notches for a possible best-ever version. For the first 5 songs, this sounds like a pretty good solid 77 show.
