Jack Straw
The jumped into this one while Bobby was still fussing with his rig. Bobby's amp and efect system looked like an eraly moonlander and the whole thing went down halfway through Jack Straw... Bob has to stop playing to 're-boot' and Jerry proceeded to tear that solo six different ways from Sunday... it was out of control. It made me wish for more 'techincal dificulties' if they turned into solos like that!
One of the best!
From the mind blowing recovery on Jack Straw to Phil's uplifting Broken Arrow to the textbook Help/Slip/Frank to the trance inducing Dayz Between, this show totally did it for me...

Memorable
Yeah, the Jack Straw extended Garcia workout was just sublime and a rare treat. Days Between was powerful and moving. Help/Knot/Franklin's had very few flubs and really cooked along. I SO loved shows at Autzen. That place somehow surmounted the "stadium blues" I usually get. It was not intimate, but was small by stadium standards at the time and the vibe was always so great in Eugene. No big nasty security, hardened heads, etc, it was always a great scene I will always cherish.
Tribes
This was a tribal event. There were so many core people at this one, Mountain Girl, Babbs, etc. It felt like home. Autzen was up for grabs. There were huge tye dye flags flying around the perimeter of the stadium. It was absolutely sunny, and everybody danced their tails off until The Days Between stopped us in our tracks. This Days was a stunner, just gorgeous.
I bought a bottle of Grateful Red wine from a local vineyard in the lot. My best friend still has it on display.
There are very good boards of this show out there.
Days
For the few years after 91, it became hard for me to speak of a run of shows or a certain tour that really shined. It came down to a 'show' or a set of a show, etc. As soon as I saw the date of this show, though, the Days popped in my head. Great, great rendition of this song- pure Jerry.
