Comes A Time....
I was on the floor for this one. I was soo pumped after Estimated that I didnt hear the begining of Comes A time untill people around me were crying becasue it had been such a long time... Very magical when this happens! My other memory was that I had made it in front of Phil in the 2nd set and when he broke into Lovelight I started yell for him to sing and he looked at me and laughed... A silly thing to do but we both got a laugh... Fun shoe!!
Great start to a great run
This run was without doubt my peak Deadhead experience. It started off in the stratosphere and just got higher from there. And for once, a New Year's Eve show that actually lived up to the hype! Comes a Time was a wonderful surprise on this opening night (first one since Roanoke 7/8/87 if memory serves), as was my first time ever to hear Hamza El-Din, whose song and tar duet with Mickey was phenomenal, better than the New Year's version. Also formulated on this night was the infamous "Volleyball Strategy" as a way to get a good spot on the floor. BGP always had a volleyball tournament at the back of the floor before the shows, and by lining up along the sidelines and waiting until the exact moment the game ended, it was possible to dash into a great spot that had just been part of the volleyball court. Worked like a charm all four nights, best of all on NYE!
