1984 - Irvine - fence crashers and violence?
Was anyone in the parking lot, when the hippies pulled down the chain-link fence and started rushing the venue?The thick-armed short-hairs started busting heads.. it was ugly.
I was shrooomen' and remember that I went around the side, was laying down in the mud, thinking they were trying to get me.. and I decided that I didn't like the vibe in L.A. at all...
WHEEE!!!
My first show, I have the bootleg from the second set..Awesome Aiko>Playin>Uncle Johns second set opener.
I would like to find a good first set bootleg, though...
I remember being well dosed and walking out of the show in a knot of about 30 people when 2 of the "thick-armed short-hairs" started harassing a guy that was WAY dosed and out there...
They were going to detain him when all 29 or so of us concert-goers, stopped and all turned around IN UNISON, and stared down the cops. They were SO freaked out! We gathered up that poor soul, put him back in the middle of the group and went on out to the parking lot. Talk about social consciousness...
seva table folklore tape
I blew it and taped setting up the seva table...including jets zooming in the distance and clammering metal & boxes...very nice idiocy tape....my other fav is the one in the car packing back east blooper that segways to bitch and moan with thunder and lightning rain sounds, "ooooh"
keep your character, enjoy living, share your fortune,

GDTS gave me a pair of tickets for the pit !
I went to this show with my friend Diana Milbert and Scotty Reynolds and I think a friend Sam. Anyways, GDTS was so amazing... Thank you Ruby !!! The pit was literally like having the band in my home, it was that close and it was a huge dancing area where the security protected the space..OMG it was great... a strong tab of something owsley would have been proud of made it even more amazing but when the dead hit the spanish jam other one zone I was seriously scared, I mean crapping in my pants scared, wow. I think it was also damp and raining, after the near death (haha) all was better and healed by the time stones ended...Very memorable...
also my first show
didn't really know what i was in for..my friend Eric needed a ride so i got to go,we had a whippet tank in the back seat and i even got a ticket for a joint in the parking lot b4 the show..but good times were ahead in the show..2nd show wasn't until almost 3 years where i began the 1st of 90 or so shows..and 'the meeting guy' above has his years mixed up i think..i am pretty sure that was in '87 when the fences came down,i was there for all 3 shows...PEACE

At this show I almost became a guest of the counties. I mixed texas medicine with railroad gin and almost colapsed. They were coming to take me away but some of you pulled me into the grass from above as my friends John and Dave lifted me up. Thank you who ever you are. It was about an hour before show time. I recoverd in time to see the show. That was the last time I took Valume,Whiskey,Cocaine,Weed,Shrooms and Beer all together. I wasn't having any problems when I moved but if I stood still for too long I couldn't hold myself upright from the waste up. It was weard but I survived and alot of you helped me so I could recover and enjoy what was an uneventful night as far as trouble went. God Bless You All. If there are any photos of this show I sure would like to see them.
